Thanks, I just tried some of those drivers. It still does not see the drive.
This is a Dell Laptop with a single USB 1.1
This problem started happening after I got a docking station (with several USB 2 ports on it). I have not tried using the docking station ports with the dvd burner yet however. I have just tried the usb port on the laptop itself. But I wonder if the docking station drivers caused this?
I also started using a usb mouse with the laptop recently but I did not have to install any drivers for it.
