I tried to burn DVDs with Roxio Easy CD creator V.5.3.4.21 SP8
but it doesnt recognise or cannot find the DVD drive installed eventhough Nero does, as do all other software. I have an external LG DVD drive.
I know it's pretty old, but it does have DataDVD project to burn DVDs. Thus, what do I do?

It your version doesn't list your drive then it's game over. I'll share I use CDBURNERXP for data DVD work. But since you have NERO why bother with Roxio or other?

Roxio has been having this recognition problem for sometime now. I suggest you go to the Roxio site to see about the available updates. Make sure that the software is compaitble with what you are using.
I'd used the site once before but, eventually stopped using Roxio altogether and went with Nero7. Nero does everything i need it to do.

Good luck.
V6.0 or newer to use Easy CD Creator with XP.
A quick search thru your favorite search engine should help you find version 8.2 or 9.? for about $10.00 plus shipping.
Might also consider updating the firmware on you DVD drive too.
