DVD Burner not recognized by XP Pro

I tried that, still not seeing it. By the way, the bios
when I turn the machine shows it as the secondary on IDE1.
Also, I should mention I do not think it was Nero. I
have looked for a solution on other boards, and it has
happenned with Roxio as well. I am not sure I am
explaining this correctly, but someone also said that dvd
burners use 32 character or string and cd burners/cd roms
use 16 and XP does not recognize all the time or that a
file can get corrupted. If I re-install XP, it will
appear for a while, and then be gone. Not sure if it is
just with Pioneer DVD or other.

Hello

Well I run XP Pro at home with all updates and run Roxio
and have a cd-rw and a DVD rom and both been working
great for the past year and 1/2 with no problem, but if you
want to try to reload windows you can give that a try
