If it says something like ‘ Unable to access the disk in drive D: Please make sure the drive is ready and the disk is not write-protected.’ then your system does not have any Packet writing (UdF/CDRW) software installed. You must save your files to the Hard disc and then Burn the files to CD using XP’s built in CD burning software. Note that Windows XP cannot burn to DVD discs either, you need third party software such as Easy CD Creator 6 or Nero 6. Check here for list of supported drives for Nero or Easy CD. In some cases, if a new CD is inserted and the drive will not recognise it, then a Firmware update is required to update the software in the drive itself.
