E-IDE drive not seen in ImgBurn 2.5.7.0

[molecule]

ImgBurn IDs CDROM drive for reading CDs, but for writing to CD, it's not in the drop down list

 

doesn't matter if a blank CD is inserted or not

 

entry in ImgBurn log identifies the IDE drive as RAID?

Your problem is you have a CD ROM drive. That is only for reading discs not for writing them.

 

If you want to write data to a disc you should buy writer, depending on what types/profile discs you are going to write.

 

I would recommend a plain DVD writer that supports:

 

DVD+R

DVD-R

DVD+R DL

etc

 

If you want to write Blu-ray discs (the drive is more expensive) you would want to but a BD-RE writer
