That second one isn't shown in the registry (no second Volume folder) and is not listed in the Everest Report.

This is a really good one...

Trying to decide what would be the best course here. was it SP2 or an update that may have caused the problem...Hmmmm

Service Pack 2
Download This Version for IT professionals and save it to your hard drive. Burn it to a cd and hang on to it for future use as your XP installation CD does not contain it.

Eventually we'll get it to where you can burn it to a cd....

Yes, we can continue tomorrow...that'll give me some time to look into a few things.

Hey, on just for a bit. I downloaded the IT file, saved it on the HDD in Prog Files. But guess what, I cannot burn it to either drive, same prob. So there it will stay. I should be on later tonight. Sometimes I wish I still has Win95................

Ok...

Uninstall SP2 using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Reboot and see if your optical drives work as they are supposed to.

[USMCSniper]

Uninstalled SP2. No change. Recordings Tab is still in CD. now XP is driving me nuts that there are updates...........

[USMCSniper]

Reinstall SP2??

[wannabe1]

Not quite yet.....

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives...click on Volume, then right click on Drive Type...click Modify. Change the Value Data to 2 and click "Ok".

Open Device Manager and Uninstall both CD drives with right click > Uninstall. Accept each uninstall.

Reboot and see if your cd-rom is set as a burner (Record tab)

Call in the A-10's...

Go ahead and reinstall the SP2...hang on to that download, it'll be handy to have if you reinstall a lot. We've been about everywhere with this thing...I wonder if that drive might have gone South...

How are you about being in the case?

[USMCSniper]

Roger on the A10's!! I'm ok with doing some RECON in the case, how about a 6 man Team.....

[USMCSniper]

I'll go ahead and re-install SP2........will keep advised.........

[USMCSniper]

SP2 reinstalled, no change
