Did your laptop come with Nero to burn DVDs? Does Nero see it as a DVD
burner? Under Device Manager, what drivers is it using? Like mine is
using the following:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\imapi.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\redbook.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\storprop.dll
These are stock generic Microsoft CD/DVD drivers. Most systems I see
uses them.
