I had an IDE HD, IDE CD burner and a IDE DVD burner that went bad. I bought a SATA DVD burner and installed it. It functions as far as opening and closing but all my burner programs, including Nero 7 Essentials which it came with will not recognize the new SATA DVD burner. Do I have to set something in the BIOS?

Is the drive connected directly to the MoBo or are you using a PCI SATA Host Adapter?

Either way, look to the BIOS for the answer. Check there for settings as they pertain to that drive. This is assuming the drive is listed correctly in Device Manager.
