i just got a liteon ltr-482465 48x24x48, and it't not being recognized by any cd burning programs; i've downloaded and tried at least 5 so far and none of them can recognize it as a cd burner and thus i can't burn any cds. Help anyone?

What software was packaged with the drive?Also,be sure to check the jumper on the back of the drive.If anything else is hooked to the same ide cable,such as another cd-rom drive or harddrive,one has to be set to master and the other slave.If it is the only device on the cable then it should be set to master.

i've already fixed the slave/master drive issue, and there wasn't any software packaged with it.

No bundled software,now thats surprising for a liteon.Most ive seen usualy came with Would this be one of the 5 that you tried?Is the drive reading any cd's?

Is the drive present in windows explorer?

well the burner can read cds and everything, and it does show up in windows explorer

and yes, i've also tried nero, but it didn't recognize the burner either

If you have a look on the nero website they should have a list of supported drives - is it listed there?

Can you burn data files by "drag and drop" or copy while in Windows Explorer?

ok, so i've downloaded the aspi drivers - which i do not have installed on my system yet - but when i try to install them, i get an error message and the installation fails. could this be because i am not an administrator but a power user?
