Can't write to my CD drives except with Nero

I've got a couple of optical drives on my Win XP Home system - the
primary is a Ricoh DVD+RW MP5308D and the secondary a Pioneer DVD-RW
DVR104. Since upgrading XP to SP 2 recently, I've been unable to write
to these using anything other than Nero apps. It seems as if Windows
thinks these drives are read-only now.

The app I'd like to use is SonicStage, which used to work fine. I've
just installed the latest version from the Sony site, v4.0, but it
hasn't fixed the problem. It can read CDs from the drives but doesn't
recognize recordable discs in them when I try to write or erase. Nero,
however, seems to have a completely accurate picture of the drives and
their capabilities.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for tackling this problem!

Click to expand...

Try...

My Computer -> right click on the drive and select Properties -> "Recording"
tab -> "enable CD recording on this drive"

That might work for Windows native recording but not SonicStade.
