MacBook - MacBook>Boot Camp>Windows XP>DVD

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?

If you have a mediafour drive, check out this URL

Have had (still have) a similar problem. Solution if you have a mediafour drive, here is an article that guides you through a solution. My problem is that right-clicking on my macbook pro is not working (2 fingers on pad & click bar) so I can't figure out how to get past that step.

Mac OS X 10.5, Boot Camp: Can't mount the Leopard DVD to upgrade Apple drivers in Windows

Hope this helps.

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.
