Nero 5 won't detect CD-RW drive in XP Home (SP3)
Gas Bag
Pack 3) system.
I have a (LG brand) HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8481B Drive. For some reason,
Nero 5.0 won't detect this drive at all. When I select "Choose
Recorder" from witin Nero, it only detects the Image Recorder, not the
CD-RW Drive. As a result, I cannot burn any CDs using Nero, it will
only burn images to the Hard Drive. But I do know the CD-RW burner is
working, because I can burn music files using Windows Media Player.
It's just that Nero won't detect the CD-RW drive. I'm sure that many
other people would've encountered the same/similar problems.
I was hoping someone could offer me some help here? Thanks.

Have you tried updating Nero 5 with updates from Nero's website?
I have got a CD that contains two update files for Nero5. Please
try Nero's website or google for: Nero551056.exe and
n551056eng.exe and it might just do the trick.

If it's an OEM version of Nero and didn't come with the drive that's
probably your problem. I got the retail vesion of 6 for cheap several years
ago so never had to figure out how the "adding keys" work.

Dump Nero and get a burning program that works and is less humongous.
Suggestions...
InfraRecorder
CDBurnerXP
DeepBurner
EasyBurner
ImgBurn
