Hi Ive posted this b4, it just never gets resolved (my fault) but i just need to burn cds and i cant. Ive tried many programs, different brands of cdr's, and i am burning audio. I know I can burn cds cuz i can rip them on and i've BURNED a cd partially. I got NeroInfo Tool and it says my ASPI ISNT connected. Here's the info requested last time i posted it.

(1:0) D:\ HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B  
  firmware version: 2.40 operating system: Windows XP Home Edition (5.01.2600 Service Pack 2)
