I have a MacBook running Leopard and using Windows XP thru Boot Camp. My question is, why is the DVD player/recorder not showing? I've installed all the drivers that came with Leopard but I apparently am still missing something.
Any help or suggestions?

That article refers to Mediafour's HFS software driver (MacDrive) for Windows which enables reading and writing to an HFS partition while in Windows. Note that the article is also referring to the Boot Camp Beta which has expired long ago. See my other reply to you.

Regards.
