I tried to get to the address you gave me but couldn't, maybe the problem was at my end, not sure. I disabled cdrecording on this drive and it seems to be working. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

You may want to consider uninstalling the software from the system
One locate the cd burning software in the Programs menu and so elect the uninstall,if there is not an uninstall option,then open Control Panel and select the Add/Remove Programs,check the list for software and select to Remove

To Disable the software may require editing the registry
Open the Registry by going to Start->Run and dtyping Regedit
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CD Burning settings,then locate the setting to Disable=0

You should be able to do this easily:

Open My Computer
right click your burner
click Properties
Recording tab.
Uncheck the box "Enable CD recording on this drive

This will disable XP's burning capabilities. Some burning software disablesthis by default when you install them. It sounds like Nero's does not.

Enjoy,

Open regedit
open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

then delete these two values
UpperFilters and LowerFilters
