Sonic Recordnow Deluxe Suite 7.0
I am getting the 'All Your Drives are Set to Disabled. On this Operating System, in order to start Roxio Record Now you must either physically remove your drive(s) or enable at least one drive.'
I am running XP SP3 and both DVD drives show up under Device Manager without any issues. I am able to read DVD's and CD's from both drives without a problem. I did some research and it was recommended that I try pxengine41028a.exe, but I can't get the exe file to run on my computer. The error that I get is 'the installation file needs to be able to read/write to the current directory.
Sonic Recordnow Deluxe Suite 7.0 1
Please change the permissions for the directory or move the installer to a location that has the proper read/write permissions'.I am able to lauch other exe files from this directory without any issues, so I'm at a lost as to what may be the issue with the pxengine4 file.Please note Record Now was running without any problems, until last week when I got an error on bootup, when the program seemed to be trying to reinstall itself. I was able to remove the program via ADD/REMOVE and have since reinstalled the program three times with the same error message above. Can someone please tell me what might be going on here? I am getting the same error as Wussery did but I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Error is 'All Your Drives are Set to Disabled. On this Operating System, in order to start Creator Premier you must either physically remove your drive(s) or enable at least one drive.' I have disabled the drive then re-enabled it.
I have tried to reinstall Roxio Creator Premier 10. I have uninstalled IE 9 Beta, a good move even without the above problem. I continue to get the same error message. This program worked at one point on this computer and it was purchased with the computer. Any other ideas on how to fix the problem would be appreciated. Audio mixing software reviews.

Okay, working from other solutions which have worked for other people, would you try the next one please:-Open Windows' Device Manager DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click on your burner drive and Uninstall it.-restart Windows and let Windows reinstall that burner drive-reinstall the PX Engine and then restart Windows again-check and report back please.I've tried everything mentioned in this topic earlier but.sigh.Anyway, after following your steps it worked (for me). Thanks a lot! Edited January 19, 2011 by honeycomb. Hi,i just tried the same thing but still the same message that the drive is disabled.did you do any other steps beforehand to make it work?if all else fails, do you know if it is normal that i cannot burn on a DVD even though i have the hardware.meaning with any program.Thanks,MichelleCOpen device manager, expand the DVD/CD-Rom Drives, right click your DVD drive and click uninstall.
Close everything out and reboot your PC, the operating system will re-install the drive. Now see if the drive shows in My Computer and other programs including Roxio. Try this:Download and run the PX Engine installer from Unzip the file into a folder somewhere on your hard drive and double-click to run it.-restart Windows, and try your Sonic/Roxio program again.- please report the result back here.Hi,I am getting the same error as Newbie i have installed windows vista premium and windows XP SP3. I am a beginer in understanding and solving Roxio problems and hencei have 2 basic questions here.1) can i download the PX Engine installer and try this step or the PX engine is only for windows 7 ultimate users?2) 'To delete the entries for the IDE controller on the optical drives. Reboot and let Windows re-detect and re-install.' By this step do i need to delete the DVD/CD-ROM drives or the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers from the device manager?Please advise.
Hello,I can't see anyone called Newbie in this thread, but I guess you're finding that the Roxio program doesn't recognize your burner drive?1 The PX engine is used by all the recent disc-writing Roxio suites under Windows, not just Windows 7.If the PX Engine version 30058a doesn't work for you try the version 4.18.16a one.The links for both versions are listed in Cdanteek's signature. Go up to a message from him, and look at #7 in his sig.2 Honeycomb found the suggestion in post #10 worked.

You won't need a CD to install anything. Windows will find your optical drives, once you reboot. I had other problems with the install yesterday (error 03F2.80070005) and now this one! Help!(Roxio should include those patches and fixes with their software for the different platforms as these errors are a great diversion to not buy this product )I use Windows 7 and downloaded the trial for Roxio 9, but get the same message that all my drives are set to disabled.I followed the various instructions here with uninstalling my Dvd drive, downloading and installing both the px engines.and nothing works, message still pops up, is there anything else I'm missing? I had other problems with the install yesterday (error 03F2.80070005) and now this one!

I applied it and it worked like a charm. Just disabling then re-enabling the optical drive did not work. Many thanks!Here's my context in case those details could help anyone:- I got Sonic RecordNow! V7.3 in 2005 as part of the software package bundled with a Dell Latitude D510 running Windows XP- I upgraded to a Dell Latitude D630 that does not include this option and I keep on running XP SP3- As I still own the D510, I did move all my stuff to the D630 using a fantastic software:PC mover Professional- I had to reactivate Microsoft Office and to register the Sonic license again (likely due to a new hardware footprint coming with the PC change)- I didn't remember I got this messaqe when I register / run this software for the first time on the new machine, i.e. The D630- But I got it today (first time) ans Brendon's solution did the trick!Cheers from France.
Consider this scenario: You pick up a DVD drive box off the shelf and notice the package says it includes burning software by Nero. Then you pick up a drive from a different manufacturer and see that it too comes with Nero software. You blithely pick one over the other, perhaps using price and that $20 instant rebate advertised in the weekly store circular as the deciding factors. But are these software bundles the same?Maybe-or maybe not. The same software titles, bundled with different DVD burners, can vary in ways subtle and overt. Unfortunately it's often difficult to tell them apart. Software SecretsFirst, a little background.
Sonic Recordnow For Windows 8
All rewritable DVD drive kits sold at retail ship with software; bare, (or 'original equipment manufacturer') drives generally lack bundled software, which is why they're described as 'bare.' Software producers provide special versions of their retail software for the so-called OEM bundles that ship with hardware products such as DVD burners. These OEM bundles tend to include scaled-down versions of the full retail applications, but that's not always the case.To further complicate matters, a software maker might give its drive-manufacturer customers multiple OEM versions to choose from-a move that helps drive makers keep their costs down. For example, Nero has three standard OEM bundles of its Nero Ultra software; if need be, the company will further customize its software to meet a drive maker's needs. The situation is similar with Sonic's bundles for RecordNow and MyDVD, and Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.All of this flexibility is great if you're a drive manufacturer, or any hardware maker in need of a software complement, but it creates a confusing, headache-inducing mess for consumers trying to make an informed buying decision. Understanding the DifferencesEven if you get a drive with the most limited version of a burning software package, you'll be able to do basics like burning an audio CD or mastering a data disc.
The differences lie in the features the software supports. You might, for example, be stuck with burning software that omits a video codec, such as MPEG-4, or you might have software that lacks unlimited CD-ripping capability.To help you sort through this mess, I've surveyed the Big Three-Nero, Ulead, and Sonic (which now owns Roxio), makers of the software bundles that pop up most often with the drives we test for our. This is not to say you should take my findings as the bottom line on the software that comes with your drive: Software bundles do change, and drive vendors might choose to restore support for certain features a generic OEM bundle might lack. NeroNero-the company now known by the name of its flagship product-has a dizzying array of programs that together form the company's popular Nero software bundle.Fortunately, I'm starting to see a trend-for the moment. The company's OEM Suite 1 and 2 bundles used to be popular; several drives featured on our January and April DVD charts include these bundles-see Nero's site for more info on its. But my most recent survey of drives that come with Nero software reveals that they include one version or another of the OEM Suite 3.
Suite 3 is similar to the retail version of Nero, but it lacks certain features and codec support: For example, it does not support Dolby Digital AC-3 decoding and it does not include Nero Burning ROM for advanced disc burning features, Wave Editor or Sound Tracks, Nero ImageDrive, or MP3 Pro Encoder.Of the nine drives we've recently tested that use Nero software, only two of the vendors use customized versions of OEM Suite 3: Memorex and Sony. Memorex's latest 16-by-16 series of burners, which cost a bit more than their competitors, include the full version of Nero PhotoShow Elite in lieu of PhotoShow Express (the Elite version is a $45 value unto itself). Sony's DRU-720A drives include a limited version of Nero Burning ROM SE, which provides more advanced disc burning capabilities than PhotoShow. Also, to get Nero Recode (software for duplicating non-copy-protected DVDs in MPEG-4), a free upgrade, users must download the program from Nero's Web site; it's not included on CD.Tip: Of the remaining drives, Lite-On's SHOW-1673S, Pacific Digital's U-30624, Toshiba's SD-R5372, Samsung's TS-H552B, LG's GSA-4160B, and I/O Magic's iDVD16DDBE all ship with OEM Suite 3, with no tweaks. Suite 3 can be upgraded at no charge from version 6.3 to the latest version, Nero 6.6 OEM, via Nero's. If you care to add additional features, you can spring for the $50 retail version of Nero 6.6 Ultra Edition, also via a download from Nero's Web site. Sonic/RoxioSonic's most common bundles include the one-two punch of RecordNow and My DVD for disc mastering and DVD video authoring, and Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic.The Sonic MyDVD 5 OEM software lacks a slew of features, as compared with its more full-featured step-up editions.
You can use the OEM software to burn a DVD movie with basic menus, but it has several limitations: For example, it lacks TiVoToGo, so you can't transfer shows recorded on a Series 2 TiVo DVR to DVD via your PC; you can't apply styles to individual menus; there is no fit-to-DVD automatic quality setting; you can't import DVD content created with non-Sonic products; and it lacks double-layer DVD+R recording capability. Also missing is the ability to automatically correct picture orientation in slide shows, and you cannot import, edit, and burn MPEG-4 and Divx files.
