Hi all
I have managed to fix the problem and as I thought, it is possible to write a 
CD using the windows XP CD writing wizard.
To turn on this feature:
1.  Go to windows explorer and navigate to a folder showing the drive of your 
CD recorder.
2.  Press alt and enter to go to properties.
3.  Press control and tab a few times to get to the recorder tab.
4.  You may have to route jaws to PC to check the box that says "enable CD 
recording on this drive".
5.  Now when you place a blank CD into the drive, you can paste files to it as 
you would with a floppy disk.
6.  When you are ready to burn the CD, choose burn these files to CD from the 
file menu.  This will bring you into a wizard which is quite straight forward 
to use.

Hope this is of use to someone
Joan Ann.

  Hi Joan Ann!
  No that doesn't work because as I said, a blank CD is not readable. You'd 
have to open your burning software first and paste the files into there. 
  If your Windows Explorer does have a menu option to burn stuf to a CD, you 
should be able to just select files in any folder and execute that option. The 
burning software should then open automatically.
  Cheers,

  Hi Paul and Robbie
  I thought I could go to Windows Explorer and choose Cd and paste stuff into 
the blank CD and then choose "burn these items" to CD" from the file menu.
  The other thing is, if I put a CD into the drive, if I go to send to, the CD 
option isn't there so, it doesn't seem to be recognizing the blank CD at all.

  Joan Ann.

    Hi Joan Ann!
    Why do you want to access a blank CD with the Explorer in the first place? 
I assume that the explorer can't identify the object in the drive precisely 
because it's blank and therefore unreadable.
    Cheers,
    Robbie

      Hi all
      I am experiencing a strange problem with my CD-ROM drive.  I can play 
CD's 
      and review tracks in windows explorer with no problems but, if I put a 
blank 
      CD into the drive and go too windows explorer and choose the D drive, it 
      tells me that "D:\ is not accessible unknown function".  Could it be a 
      problem with the CD's I am using?  The strange thing is I have tried this 
      using CD's from 2 different boxes.

      Thanks for any help
      Joan Ann
