Same problem here. My ancient Sony CD-Burner is recognized, and so is the NEC DVD-ROM drive, but my Pioneer DVD-Burner is not. The key difference between them is that the Pioneer is a SATA drive. CDBurner XP does not seem to work well with SATA drives in Windows 7 x64.

I am on an AMD 770 chipset, so no Intel Storage Manager for me. I could attempt installing the Vista driver for my chipset, but I do not believe in replacing the AMD 770 driver that came with Windows 7 and that is designed for Windows 7 with one that was made for an older version of Windows. Especially not since the drive works nicely in every other respect.

And no, earlier versions of CDBurner XP do not work either. 4.2.5.xxx (i.e. the one that burfadel suggested) is not available in the download archive, so I cannot try that one, but 4.2.1.976 has exactly the same problem as a matter of fact.

The Pioneer burner worked nicely back when I was using Windows XP with AHCI SATA-driver.

From the homepage it seems that imgburn can only burn complete images, not single files, so it is not really an alternative to CDBurner XP. A real alternative would have been DeepBurner, but guess what - that one has the same problem as CDBurner XP!

I tried Nero 9 Free Edition. Works, but cannot even burn a boot block (and is generally a horrible piece of software).

Does anyone have an idea what alternative I could resort to for the time being? The Win7 onboard burning features are not enough.

Better would be to have the bug fixed, of course. Cannot be that hard, seeing that CDBurner XP does detect the drive properly when it comes to erasing a disc.

Just curious, does it work if you replace the existing file in the CDBurnerXP application directory with this one?

Had a similar problem I just posted about, I found a work around by switching from AHCI to Native IDE in my bios. Then I was able to see my burning in CDburnXP.
