I recently acquired an HP CD-Writer 9300 series CD burner drive, and decided to throw it into my Windows 98 PC (one that has gone through many changes recently, this being one of those), and while the CD reading function works great, Windows 98 SE obviously doesn't have CD burning support. The problem I'm currently having is that for some reason, no versions of Nero burning ROM will support this drive. Pre-2000 or post-2000, it doesn't matter- I really don't like how Nero only supports specific drives, and that those "supported drive," lists are actually quite small.
The only other options I believe I have require me to go past 2000, which makes me uncomfortable in the first place, but to add insult to injury, most of them actually seem to have been released in 2005 or later. While I don't need this machine to burn CDs, having a functionality in a PC and not using it or not being able to use it hits a small nerve in the back of my head for some reason. If the hardware can do it, I always get software to support it so that the PC is fully set up, rather than missing one feature or another.
Also, why would Nero from 2001 not support a drive made in 2000? Or Nero from 2002? Because neither of those versions seem to- I've now given the Nero development team roughly a year and a half to support this drive made in September of 2000, and by 2002 they still didn't code in support for it.
Where am I?
