Maybe the discs you are trying are a type your device does not support, or the drive is defective. Can you share more information? You have Windows XP, have you tried using the built-in burning wizzard?

In My Computer, drag the files to the blank CD and right click the CD and select "write these files to CD"

Did the program you speak of come with the computer or the burner?

Ok, did the Windows XP wizard work?

Nero made a tool to discover capabilities of your burner:

Nah, my Pesario 734RS OS XPSP2 notebook can't burn Cd's, this is my other notebook Pavilion Dv6704nr OS VistaSP1 can burn Cd's. I get a message you file is ready to be copied/burn to Cd and when I try, it states I don't have a cd in the E drive whether I have one or not. . I had the DV6704nr notebook for 6 months, my first try at burning a disc.
