cdrw not showing

[Derekgnr]

I recently installed xp on a computer that had ME. I have a cdrw on it but now it's not showing up in the device manager. The drive opens and the lights come on but it won't burn.

did you do a fresh install or one OS on top of another?

Check cables and make sure jumper settings are correct. Upgrades usually create problems. Your best bet is to do a fresh install (if you haven't).
