Yes, Nero version 5 works with windows 2000 per nero website.  I am trying to
use version 5.5.  I have also tried MusicMatch CD to burn MP3 CD with the same
result.  It only see the drive as a simple CD-ROM.  Not a burner.  Everything
work fine under windows 98  (dual boot)

I will have to try a a few tricks.  Change IDE slave / master settings...etc

Kinda sad when a seasoned computer bench / field service rep, with 6 years of
daily PC repair experience, can't get a creative CDRW to work.  NOT a good
testament to creative.  Guess I will stick to only buying creative 16bit sound
card for $15.

Is news group monitored.  This news group IS not good advertisement.  If I were
creative I would shut this news group down.... Oh, wait then they would have NO
technical support.
