Sorry, I mis-read the e-mail. Here is what it said: I was unable to write photo files to a CD or DVD on either of my disk drives. I just ran spybot search and destroy as well as ad-aware SE personal. After doing that and restarting I tried again to copy photo files to my cd drive. It worked. And, unlike previously, I was able to view the files on the CD as well. However, when I went to do the same action on the DVD drive, I found the setting to enable CD recording on this drive was not checked. When I check and apply to enable CD recording on this drive, it in turn disables the other drive. And so on and so on...I can continue to go to the drive properties recording tab, click and apply to enable CD recording and then and it disables the other one... this is all I know so far. Trying to get more info on the computer and the drive models.
