seems like nero doesnt like to have a drive installed after its software has been installed ever on a system... i.e. a new drive installed before new os, then install nero. i have had problems with nero never being installed, but adding a drive into the system later and it not recognizing.

i couldnt care less anymore, because I used to think Nero was far superior to cd burning softwares, but now most of them are very close... i used to hate easycdcreator, but it is good now. anyway.

also, i dont think most of the nero versions suppord dvd writing do they? i know my older version doesnt.
