DVD + CRRW as CD in My computer ?!

[Richard]

XP Home shows the DVD player and the CDRW as a normal CD
player in My computer.

What's wrong?

Hi Richard,

The CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is Not Recognized As a Recordable Device

First, verify if the drives are compatible with Windows XP (verify the Windows Hardware Compatibility list HCL). If it is compatible, try the registry edit procedure explained in the 2nd link.

Regards,
Ramesh
