Hi Unicast.
I do not know..when i installed it, maybe a year back i looked into it..but not that hot on it all and when it said bout everything needs to be spot on or it'll fry the writer...EEK!!
When i put the disc in..it open up the 'what you wanna do?' box (XP).
Not sure if its recognisin or just the software runnin through the motions of what i wanna do? Usin Nero vision express 3 to 'make my own dvd'.
