I have a Sony Vaio desktop with XP. My DVD-CD burner started getting balky so I replaced it with a Memorex DVD-CD burner. I can play DVDs and CDs and burn DVDs fine but none of my media players recognize the new unit as a CD burner. I tried putting in the old unit but now it is not recognized as a CD burner either. HELP!!!
Have you tried burning a CD in the new drive? Because the drive is a DVD it will always be recognised as a DVD, but should work perfectly well with CDs both playing and recording.
OK, go to the properties of your CD drive in Device Manager and check that you have a recording tab, if so check that the "enable recording on this cd drive" box is ticked.
If you do not have a recording tab check this link for instructions

I found a link that might refer to your situation, I don't know what OS you have but see if this will help.

Won't work. Neither of the media players where I used to be able to burn music CD's recognize either of my burners as CD burners, and Picture Tasks on the left side of the screen no longer says "copy to CD". Nope, I don't think it is going to be something that simple. But thanks for trying.
