The reason I need this is a piece of Software I'm running doesn't support writing to CD-RW. I'm running WinXP Pro. (Immediate burning needed, like a 3 1/2 Floppy) thanks for any help, Isaac	Guest (0)

Have another look at the installation CDs that came with your burner and see if you can find InCD there. When you insert the CD it should come up with a menu (provided you have auto-run configured) with what you can install. If InCD is there install it and use that. If it isn't then there should be something else similar.	Guest (0)

It installs in it's own folder - Prog Files - Ahead. Never had to format my cdrw - just dragged files across to the drive. An icon appears in your task bar when installed, with a red arrow pointing down with no disc in, changing to green up when OK. Have to open this to eject disc. Regards	Guest (0)
