dru500a

[LPT]

I just installed the 500a, and the system recognizes it as a cd rom, but not a dvd burner, or cd burner for that matter. I have a plextor cd burner installed as well, and I dont know if this would cause a problem. Please help. TIA!

What OS are you running? Most don't have built-in burning software and report CD-RW/DVD/DVD-R/W drives as simple CD-ROM drives at the system level. Have you actually tried to burn with the burning software supplied with your DRU-500A? Try that and see if you really have a problem or not.

I'm running XP Pro. The software that comes with the drive does recognize it as a burner. I was trying to use PrimoDvd, but that only sees the other drive as a burner. Maybe Microsux will come out with an update for XP. Thanks.

It's not a Microsoft issue at all. You need to wait for PrimoDvd to support the drive.

Wow, one of the few times MS aint at fault. Thanks.

Ian had the right answer for you. I also have a A05 and Prassi recognizes it but will not write to it. Prassi just has not upgraded to handle the DRU-500A and the A05.
