You are correct, I am saying that XP Pro won't regognize the burner for what it is. As for Knoppix I'm unable to determine if it does as it doesn't seem to have any DVD authoring apps which is why I've downloaded Medialilnux.iso and dvdauthor6 as possible solutions. I'm wondering if it would be easier to do an apt get (which I have not done yet) with dvdauthor6 or install MediaLinux what do you think?
A quick way to check if it recognized the burner is cdrecord -scanbus when booted from Knoppix if it is seen then you would have to install to the HD to be able to include a line in the /etc/apt/sources.list to install the latest k3b which supports writing to DVD.
