re: no recording device??? Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 4:10 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Adam Bradley (8786 messages posted) Well I'll just be brutally honest and say that the only way to totally recover from a bad virus infection is a format and reinstall, otherwise you will be chasing bugs down forever. As for this issue, roxio the CD-RW's driver or both have likely been corrupted, start by uninstalling roxio and the drive then reinstalling both.
