I have a DVD player and CD burner that have functioned perfectly. I have now added a DVD burner. Whilst it can play DVDs the software will not recognise it as a burner. It only offers the CD burner.(I have tried Pinnacle 8 SE and Nero 5.5). Any solutions???

software. Try to download all the latest updates for the
software or look for some that supports your particular
drive.

I have a DVD player and CD burner and I too have recently
added a DVD burner.
The software that works the best are 321 Studios DVD X
Copy and B.H.A.'s B' Recorder Gold 5.
Solution 1: Make sure that you have the latest driver and
firmware for your DVD Burner.
Solution 2: Make sure that you have installed a DVD RAM
driver for your DVD Burner. Otherwuse WinXP won't know
how to use it as a DVD Burner.
BTW after I installed my burner WinXP also unchecked both
Burners as the default WinXP CD Burner. You might want to
check that too

I believe you need version 6 of Nero for DVD burning.

There is a known restriction within xp that you can only
have one defined active burner at a time. check the
knowledge base for the article. i don't recall reading
anything about a (planned) fix.

You tried a right-click on the drive|PROPERTIES|RECORD tab?
Enable recording, if that choice is available.
