Re: dvd rw changes to cd drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

After finaglng around again and again, using the Nero software, I set Nero's
option button on DVD (instead of CD/DVD -- thought I'd try copying a CD to
DVD) and had a success test run copying a file that was burned to HD first
by Nero. The drive was recognized as DVD and acted accordingly. A small hill
conquered, but now I feel confident to boldly go forth and try other
DVD-burning projects.
