More info?)
I was just about to tell you to check for the update. The comment about the
all-in-one is because folks buy them but refer to them as cd drives when
they are burning cd's. They are really dvd burners. I just wanted to make
sure you weren't spinning your wheels and clearly you are not. The Nero
update will fix you up just fine. The update does work fine with SP2.
Roxio had the same issue and their update works fine too.
