What software are/did you use to copy disks? XP can only write to
CD-Rs natively and can not write to DVDs nor copy disks.

My DVD-RW is acting strange. It can play CDs and DVDs and rip music from
albums onto my computer. However, if I want to copy pictures onto a disk, or
make a DVD movie of my own, my computer does not recognize that I have a
burner. I've been able to copy onto disks before, so I'm not sure when this
error began. I've tried so many things like uninstalling it and even
changing the registry, however, my computer still does not recognize my drive
is capable of burning. Is there a problem with my drive (its a new computer,
I bought it in September) and should I use my warranty to get a new one? Or
is this a problem that can be fixed? Thanks for your help!
