MagicEngine

[Firehawke]

I actually have two physical optical drives on my system, and one virtual drive via Daemon Tools. The two physical drives are E and Z, and the virtual drive is F.

The Z drive is a USB DVD burner, and it doesn't appear in Magic Engine at all. Even attempting to force it to use the Z drive does nothing. I have included a copy of the log text.

The log text is from a test run where I had made sure Magic Engine could see anything at all by reimaging my Dracula X CD off the Z drive using Nero, then ran Magic Engine off the fresh image on the F drive.

Any ideas on what I can do? I've tried installing ASPI in the hopes that might fix the problem, but that didn't do much of anything.

I have a somewhat similar problem with my USB DVD-Drive (ME doesn't detect it ). I can't figure it out either.
