Please explain the process. I have tried using an external Mitsumi burner which came with Roxio
4.0 which win xp will not take. I bought Nero software which does not recognize the external burner. I already fixed the registry to accept the drivers but I think there is a port problem.
I have 2 usb ports,my mouse is using one.

Look under control Panel for an ICON with your external drive. See what PORT is being used (LPT1, if so could be printer/USB conflict (yes they exist)). Put in a CD-ROM, can windows read from it? Put a blank CD-R into external drive, does XP pop up a window asking what you want to do (Open windows media player, opn real player, etc) If YES winXP recognizes your drive, if not uninstall then reinstall drivers. Make sure Roxio 4 has been already uninstalled as it may have left some drivers around.
