The right click send to option will only usually work on certain drives for example hard drives, USB drives and RAM drives (correct me if I'm wrong :P)

to enable a send to on the Sony drive (I've the same one) you need a DVD RAM disk not a normal DVD r/rw disk. The problem is, even if you have a ram disk you still cannot just send files to it as the disk would need formatting so it can be written to.

Have a check here for more info

Aha! cheers for that,now I understand, thats cleared up part of my trouble! Did you just use the drivers that Windows used when you installed it? or did you manage to find a proper sony driver for it?

I would read it, CLD, but TBT came without a BBB manual, it was OEM, REAW CLD.

I think you need to refer to the manual for the OPERATING system if you want a "send to" shortcut

Windows drivers. cd/dvd drives haven't needed drivers for many years, in the past they were only really used for accessing the drives when in DOS (Disk Operating System...Windows is a DOS whereas many years ago DOS used to be installed before you could instal windows)

These day, a driver for a dvd/cd rom is not required they are all built to a same standard, its just the functions differ and operating systems these days don't need seperate drivers for them
