Question XP thinks my DVD/CD burner is a CD ROM

  #1  
Oct 24th, 2007
I can no longer write to CDs using Windows XP and get the message "Drive E: is not accesible". When I go into properties for the drive there is no option available to enable recording. This was available before and I have no trouble writing to CD using Nero 8. As I have only recently installed Nero 8 I assume that the problem started after that installation. I don't really want to have to go through uninstalling Nero and reinstalling it if I can help it. If I have to, I have to, but does anyone have another solution?

Thank you for once again trying to help me with my problems. I am sorry to be a bit stupid, but how do I find the settings in Nero 8. I don't seem to be having any luck. Can you help me?
