Just to be sure, you are trying to write to a CD with the DVD burner aren't
you. XP does not have any DVD writing software built-in so if you are trying
to write a DVD then you need 3rd party software.
Otherwise right click on the drive and ensure "Enable CD recording on this
drive" is selected on the "Recording" tab.

hope that helps
