Rescently I have replaced my hard drive with a much bigger
one. When I reinstalled windows it went ok without any
problems. Later I installed Roxio Cd burning and I was
have trouble figuring out why it wasn't finding my CD-RW
drive. I later relized that windows had installed it as
just a basic CD-ROM. Does any one have any idea what I
can do to fix this.

I bought this computer used so all I know about the drive
is this.

a burner is just a cdrom until the software telss it otherwise,
Roxio EZCD has a huge number of updates since the version that was bumdled
with your burner, goto www.roxio.com and download the updates as there may be
one required to allow the software to recognise your burner, I purchased LG
dvd +-rw cdrw mcombo drive and the bundled software was not current enough to
see the drive
