I have two dvd\cd rw drives. A Lite-on DVDRW SHW-160ps04 A BenQ dvd DD dw1650 When I try to set up CD recording using the native windows burner, I see that there is a recording tab for both drives but whem I select "enable CD burning" for one drive, it automatically UNselects the enable button for the other one. It seems that only one drive is supported for burning at a time. I have tried selecting one and the other to be Master & Slaves on the secondary IDE channel and have tried to put one on the Primary channel as Slave. The other still as Master on the Secondary. Does windows native Burning support TWO Dvd\Cd drives at once? I can burn to either using nero but would also like to use the Native burner occasionally. |

You might get away with it if you use two different applications, but watch out as this much disk and cpu activity may reduce your burn speed to an unacceptable level.

The windows configuration/method only supports one burner at a time. Use a third party software if you want to burn with both simultaneously.
