Windows Explorer does not recognize cddrive as cdrw

[Jim Whitman]

Hi,
My windows explorer thinks that my cdrw drive is a plain
cdrom drive. Thus I cannot drag and drop files to a blank
disk. When I try it keeps asking me to insert a disk but
it never sees it when I do. I am able to record disks
using Easy CD Creator but I want to drag an drop. Any
suggestions?

What brand and model of CDRW you are using?

Have you installed EasyCD's DirectCD, latest version? Without that you can't
drag-n-drop...

And I have read that you need to disable WinXP's own CDwriter functions..
