Bob,
Now we are talking business.
I can recall that somewhere in the properties of the optical drive (Device
Manager?) there was a specific check mark for activating the recording
capabilities of the drive.
Will it be unchecked by chance.
I don't find that option in Windows 7 but I am pretty sure having seen it a
few OSs back.

I couldn't find anything is Win-7 either. I remembered having this
problem during XP x64 beta. I got lucky and found a copy of KB-316529 that I
printed out when I had the problem. Have a great day.

Have you updated to the latest firmware? The drives may not be able to
recognise some media.
