CD Burning Problem : "insert a writable disc to continue"

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

As anyone was successfull hereis what was my problem :

the GPO "Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only" was
set and then ven the system has no access to the CD-Rom.

It's a very odd way of working, but it's like that
