I have no idea if it's USB or Firewire..how do I tell?
(and yes, I AM a moron when it comes to computers, as you can probably tell!!)

The burner I have is old..it's a Hewlett Packard CD Writer Plus 8200 series.

I downloaded the Patch thing..but the minute I click on it to run it, is says "CD burner not found".

AGH!!
