CD RW drive does not have the recording tab

I have problems with my being considered by Windows XP as a CD-ROM drive only CD burner. The recording tab is not available on my system properties. I exchanged the drive with the other 9 that I have here that work fine on my other machines with Windows 7 and Vista, byt XP refuses to see them as anything other than ROM discs

I tried to go in the registry at the location following and ensuring that the drive type is set to "1".

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives\Volume {fa124c43-d6c8-11de-8776-806d6172696f}

NO CHANCE!

I also passed to Component Services and enabling the IMAPI service in and outside, without success. Windows will simply not see the CD as anything other than a player.

With the NERO Burn software, I am able to burn CDs and DVDs without problem, but I was hoping to quickly burn discs CD - RW using Windows without having to load to the top of NERO, as I used to be able to do before.

My system is composed of:

  • XFX nForce 780i Mobo
  • Pentium D 3.73 GHz bumped 775 processor Presler
  • NVidia Geforce 9500 GT video
  • 4 GB OF RAM
  • Phoenix Bios Version P06

If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful, it seems that something in Windows does not see the drive correctly. Nine discs can't be all bad. I even out the hard drive and put in the condition with Vista in the machine and the CD player is considered to be a writer, so there is no hardware problem. He came down to somewhere in the XP operating system and I went through with my knowledge. There must be a service of components or a registry key to twist it and raise the windows of the hardware

Hey Ray,

Seems that happened for quite a long time. The problem that you are facing may occur due to upper and lower filters apply on optical drive Firmware. Try following the steps below and we'll see if it works!

Click on the Start button in your desktop computer, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type the following text:
Regedit.exe.

Click the OK button.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

NOTE: When you click the plus (+) next to a folder, it will expand displaying the folders it contains in the left pane of the registry editor. When a file is highlighted, the contents will appear in the right pane of the registry editor.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to SYSTEM.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to CurrentControlSet.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to control.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to the class.

Click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.

On the right side of the window, click UpperFilters.

Click on edit in the menu bar.

Click on remove and then click OK.

On the right side of the window, click LowerFilters.

Click on edit in the menu bar.

Click on remove and then click the OK button.

Click Register and then click on exit.

Restart the computer normally.

NOTE: once you have completed these steps, check for other CurrentControlSet records in the registry that can be titled CurrentControlSet001, CurrentControlSet002, CurrentControlSet003 and so on. If these files exist, you must follow this procedure for every folder CurrentControlSet delete upper and lower filters.
