new external dvd burner

darkserpant · 12-09-2005, 11:28 PM

I just bought an external dvd burner and I can't get it to burn. I also have an internal dvd burner but I want to use the external one. I can get it to play dvd movies but I can't get it to burn. The computer keeps going to the internal burner as default I think. Cause when I go to burn the door to the internal drive keeps coming open for me to put a blank dvd in. I think my problem is how do I make the external burner my default. Thanks

What program are you using? with nero and many other programs it asks you what drive you want to burn to.

Depending on which program you are using, there should be an option to:

SELECT CD/DVD BURNER.

Open your program an check its options
