Can't write to disc. MS reads wrong disc letter?

I tried to import a disc to my D:\ Drive , which is the plextor writeable one of the two that I have. The E:\ Drive is an older drive that cannot be written to.

When I hit write disc it says the drive is empty, but there is a disc in it (brand new MTU certified one); I did notice that the drive letter that comes up in MS shows E:\Plextor, but my D: drive is the plextor.

I wonder why the actual letter is D:\ but Microstudio sees it as the E: drive, which is really the non writeable one. How do I get MS to state the correct letter of the drive so I can write to drive?

Check Dale's post in the beta forum. He reported this same problem with beta 8.

have you tried unplugging and replugging your ext. drive back and re-start your pc ? if that doesnt work you might wanna do a search,i read someplace in the forum where you can rename your drive letter..

They're both internal (one is a dvd non-writeable and one is a Plextor CD-R and is writeable). I know how to chnge drive letters for ext. HD's quite easily as I do that all the time.

my bad, i thought it was an ext..sorry..well have you tried uninstalling, it then re-installing the drivers/hadware, when i first bought an ext. plextor 716 and plugged it on my gateway pc , it has two trays cd/and (dvd) which is the burner ( my first comp. ) my int. dvd drive stopped responding, had to uninstall and re-install and i dont remember having the drive letter changed, but anyway i got it to work..that was then, i dont use my gateway pc anymore other than going on line..

I see the same thing in mine Bryant. Both Hoster and Microstudio are showing the letters reversed. However I had no problem importing a song in Hoster with the reversed letters. I haven't tried anything like that in MS.
You can change the letters in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management. There is a heading for Disk Management. Right click on either CD Drive and top item is Change Drive Letter and Paths. Change the first one to something on down (X, Y, Z). Right click on the second drive and change it to what the first one was. Then do the same again with the first drive and change it to what the second drive was. Close the controls and see if it will work now.

Hmmm, I thought I tried that. I'll look again. I don't have any problems with the importing either; it is when I try to write to disc. I said "import", but I meant write.
