Found this on the microsoft link your recommended

Do you want to record onto blank DVD disks using a recordable DVD
drive? Windows XP can read and play back DVDs, but it can't record
them.

Now onward again. Certainly does not make sense for Windows XP 64 bit
to not record DVDs.

I have downloaded the frimware update you provided. Maybe tomorrow I
will be brave enough to update the frimware.

I did as another suggested and used Device Manager to check the
recording status od each drive. Since I have two drives checking the
recording status unchecks the recording status of the other. It would
seem to me that recording on either drive would be childs play by now
for XP. Perhaps the updated firmware for the drives from Sony will be
the key.

Bob AZ:
Follow KB-316529 instructions to set the Value Data to type 3 for one
drive and type 3 for the other drive. The drive that's set to type 2 should
record and the other drive should only play. That will prove that having 2
drives that are capable of recording create a conflict that prohibits either
drive from recording unless one is set to read only.
