I installed Roxio under XP SP2 running in a Virtual PC in Vista 64 on a T60P Thinkpad.
The CD Drive is available to the Virtual PC and it works with other applicaiton.
However, Roxio reports that "drive is not found."
Can anyone help with this? Maybe I should try to install Roxio on the Vista 64, at least on other person has been able to do that successfully. All I really want to use it for is making backup DVDs. The DVD utility built into Vista 64 fails without completing.

You could try uninstalling the device from the hardware control and rebooting and let Windows re-detect it
However, as Vista is also having problems, the fault may lie in your hardware

I used to use virtual PC on my Macintosh computers. I never had great success with burning applications in an emulated/virtual environment. I know its a bit different on a Mac, but honestly I wouldn't be too surprised if it didn't work so well.

As an afterthought
I have run up emulation software (VMWare on Linux) but because the virtual machine used its own graphics system, anything after ECD6 wouldn't work (DirectX just doesn't work in a virtual machine)

I was having a similar problem on a ThinkPad T42 running Windows XP. I took the advice of gi7omy and removed and rediscovered the CD-RW drive and all is well.
