I am afraid that I only have a Light version of Nero and some of the options
are not there - Nero Express 5.5. Also, Nero is not doing any checking of
the cdrom. I think that WinXP is checking to see what is there but not Nero.
I have to figure out how to disable the XP cdrom copy function and may need
to get the full version of Nero.
