All drives set to disabled

[mchief]

Now receiving a message when attempting to start 8 or 9 trial. 'All drives are set to disabled. In this OS, in order to start Roxio ... you must either physicall remove your drive(s) or enable at least one drive.'

 

 

Makes no sense. I have 3 DVD writers attached 2 internal one external. All are working fine and in fact worked with Roxio 8 and 9 last week. No system changes.

 

Has anyone seen this. Knowledgebase returned nothing.

If it happens again, I'll try that, thanks. I uninstalled and reinstalled 8 and the problem went away.

Check in control panel, system and try to enable them (windows may have marked them disabled)

Been there done that. All are enabled, even tried disabling and reenabling - no Roxio start.
