For what it is worth... I have a Toshiba DVD r/w on one of my fileservers at 
work... Nero (registered) doesn't recognize the drive but Record Now works 
fine. (For the Record, I originally used a demo, as in <insert grinning man 
with hook 'n eyepatch>, but upgraded after I was sure it was working. 'n 
Nero (version 6.3.1.26)  is working fine on a half dozen machines that I 
know of.)

Like I said... For what it is worth.
