I'm using Windows XP SP3 on my 2006 Mac Pro.
XP is seeing my superdrive as a CD Burner, and even though it sees that, won't burn at all.
I tried update drivers in device manager and no joy. I also have updated to boot camp 2.1.

Is anyone out there seeing the same issue, and if so, did you know of a fix?

Thanks a bunch.

Have you installed the drivers on the Leopard DVD? You just insert the disc while booted into Windows and it will run the appropriate installers to give you exactly the right drivers-in particular, I think, the chipset drivers. That should do it.

XP Pro or Home? I think the home version doesn't do burning within Windows Explorer like Pro allows. I could be wrong though.
