I have an LG Multi Drive with the CD recording enabled in XP Pro. but it will not write to the drive. It always says "no cd in the drive"
CD writing is OK via Nero but it will not do it via the Windows CD writing wizad. I've tried several makes of blank CD's but still no go.
I've searched the MS Knowledge Base but found nothing specific although other drive problems seem to point to corrupt drivers, but would Nero write to the drive if this was the problem?
This is a new build PC with the drive not used until now.
