What is the id string of your drive? (If using WinXP, right-click on 'MyComputer' > properties > hardware > Device Manager > click on the DVD/CD-ROM icon to expand, and copy the id string for the burner exactly, lower case and upper case as written, space for space.

Do you mean "5.Click here  Drive Not Recognized By Roxio.http://images.roxio.com/en/support/pxengine3_00_58a.zip" if so, yes reboot!

Your drives were visible in windows, my computer and such?

I went to my computer,properties,hardware,device manager.dbl clicked on dvd/cd rom drives and disabled the dvd rw drive and then enabled it and it still doesn't work.

Did you reboot after #5?

When you open my computer or in device manager do you see the drive listed?

Your destination drive needs a # to identify it.

"HL-DT-ST DVDRW DL" Internal drive or external usb drive?

Why someone has you chasing your tail about a Rom drive!

sorry,i went into the settings tab in easy audio cd.the settings tab is in the lower right corner by the add tracks tab.

That is the watched folder settings tab. If I click the + mark in this setting box next to my computer, I see drive I took out a month ago. And after I opened and closed four times I see your red x on things, don't go by this! Choose your drive by the box at the bottom of the Easy Audio CD page. Are they showing now? If not read below!

To identify your drive in XP. Right click my computer and click properties. The system properties window opens, click the Hardware tab and then click device manager. The Device Manager Window opens, from the top view, make sure a dot is next to view devices by type. Click the + next to DVD/CD-Rom Drives, post what it reads, EXACTLY!

The drive letter assignment is what Windows sees the drive as.  The Hard Drive is usually Drive C.

When you open 'MyComputer' in Windows, you should see the Optical Drives with a designation something like 'Compact Disc (:E)' -  the E is the drive letter assignment for that drive.
