First, make sure that the drive you are using is a DVD burner, and not a
DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo.

If the drive is indeed capable of burning DVD discs, then you will need to
install the software that came with the drive. Windows XP does not have the
ability to burn to DVD.

Install DVD burning software.
