brian2001nd Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Do you have any CD Burning software installed? For example Nero. 98SE will only recognize it as a cdrive unless you have a thrid party burning software installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 98se sees all cd drives as CD-ROM. only software like roxio or nero will distinguish wheter it is a burner or not.XP on the other hand, recognizes whether a cd drive is rom or rw or dvd-rom or rw.Just install some burning software and it'll be fine.
