Hi Peter, I am not sure if you need to access the bios to make your CD-RW work properly, but I had to in order to recognise the drive at all. The "Alt + Ctl + S" was the one that worked for me. Perhaps you could try using different software to burn and control your CD-RW, or return it as it may be faulty. To all who replied to my question, thankyou, you have been very helpful.
