I installed an external Sony DVD R/RW drive as well as the Nero software that it came with. During the installation Nero made me choose between the new external Sony DVD R/RW and the internal Pioneer DVD R/RW on my laptop- I chose the external Sony drive. It all worked great and I was able to burn several DVD's. I then tried to direct Nero to burn to the internal Pioneer drive and that drive is now grayed out with a red "X" on it and Nero won't burn to it. During the initial install, both drives were selectable - neither one was grayed out. Nero see's the drive - it just won't let me copy to it. I tried uninstalling Nero through Add/Remove Programs, deleted the Nero Folders left in the Program Files, and reinstalling Nero with the external Sony drive disconnected, but still no luck. Any advise? Is there a way to get the Nero software to work with my internal Pioneer DVD R/RW drive?
