Re: xp cd burner

Nero does NOT need Windows XP's Built-In CD Burner. If you want to use Nero, uncheck Enable Recording on this Drive for your drive.

From a NERO readme...

[[Go to your Windows Explorer or My Computer and right click on your
Recorders drive letter, and then go to the "Recorder" Tab and in that window
disable the option for "Enable Recording on this Drive".]]

If you want to use Windows XP's Built-In CD Burner at a later time, you have to check Enable Recording on this Drive for your drive.

Enable XP's recording wizard

Open My Computer, right click the CD Drive icon and then click Properties.
Click the Recording tab.
Check: Enable CD recording on this drive
Click: Apply
Click: OK

Enable CD recording on this drive
This setting turns on the built-in CD recording features included with
Windows XP.
Third-party CD/DVD burning programs sometimes disable this setting.
You can only enable CD recording for one device at a time.

Only One CD-R or CD-RW Disk Drive Can Be Used to Create Compact Discs in
Windows XP
