What burning program will work with a USB HP CD Burner under XP

I have tried Nero, it says it can't find the burner, and there also problems in Adapte's EZ cd creater. What program could I use under Windows XP?

Why not use the built in burning program through Windows Explorer? Also, if you need to burn ISO's, there's an ISO burner in the latest version of Powertoys.
 


<< There's a built in burning program!? How do i get to it? Does it do audio and data cd's because that's all i need. >>


I don't know if it does Audio CDs, but if you just drag files over to your blank CD it will create a temporary folder there. Then when you are ready to burn, you click "Write to CD"
 


<< Will this support his CD burner? >>


I don't see why not. As long as WinXP knows that it is a CD burner, it should work.
 
What versions of Nero and easy cd creator are you using? As I recall Nero 5.5 and above will work under XP, as far as the easy cd creator is concerned I know that the platnum version with a patch will work.
 
I have an external burner from HP too, also have the same problems. I have win98se, win2k and winxp installed on my machine and I can only burn in 98. I read somewhere that a new USB update was supposed to be released soon by MS to resolve external burning issues.

But if you get yours to work, let me know 🙂 I have the 8200e series.
 
Try the HP website - should have everything you need...

I would know - I've got an HP 8220e USB burner that works flawlessly in XP - just did a full system backup this afternoon!

suggest you look in the registry,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives

- All CD drives show up in same key

- "Drive Type" value determines whether the drive is capable of writing and rewriting

01=CD-R Drive

02=CD-RW Drive

03=Write Disabled

set your value to 2 & then see if the cdrw is recognised!
