two words..."chill pill".
I have one of those drives and it works just fine with the software cd
that came with it.
FYI, Nero express is the same code as the full version.
If you have a valid
oem licence code for the same major version, you can just stuff it into
the express version. It will be the full version and work with any
drives supported by that version number.
My nero version is 5.5.10.28
Back when they supplied license codes with the restricted version,
you could update to a newer version. Using the old code gave you the
same drive restrictions, but updated code. Since the new Nero doesn't
require a licence code for express, not sure you can do that.
Might browse the registry and see if there's a code in there you can use.
A little googling and you could have found an OEM licence code in
less time than it took you to write the rant.
