I'm curious whether you got the wrong device configuration from a fresh install, or an upgrade install. Generally, I've seen burning software get the right devices if they're from a clean install and they've worked out the device to use for themselves. But an update install could easily try to use a prior configuration, that's using the older scheme. I think burning software should only bother to ask you to pick the burner if you've got more than one to choose from. Otherwise, the computer should find the optical drives, itself, and work out which one's a burner from the drive's identification data. It's the computer, not you, let it do the computing work. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
