Windows Server 2003, SH-S182M and DVD-RAM access problem

[fastleo63]

Installed onto an IBM pSeries 232, O.S. Windows Server 2003, Std. Edition.
Latest firmware flashed on drive.
Latest Panasonic driver from BHA (meiudf.sys v4.0.8.0).
After formatting with DVDForm, if I open "My Computer", the drive is shown as "CD-ROM" instead of "DVD-RAM".
If I click on the drive, drag anything into it, I always obtain the same message: "Access denied".
Even the "refresh" option (F5) doesn't work.
O.S. compatibility problem?
Note: I was logged as a system administrator, with full access to all drives/shares, and acting directly from the server's keyboard/mouse/video...

Are those drivers even supported by Server 2003? I bet they're not.

You might want to give InCD a try.

Tried InCD 4 & 5, but they are too much "unstable" for a Server o.s....
