burning

I managed to finally bring the WMM file/project into the Sonic application but now Sonic doesn't give me the option to burn. I noticed that when I launch Sonic from the desktop, it says "no writable device available" but when I launch Sonic from the Start button and go right to Sonic "My DVD" "Make DVD" it doesn give me this error msg. COuld this be why I'm not getting the option to burn (b/c it is not recognize a device?)? I've installed and reinstalled the driver and it is installed properly. IS there some other place i should look to rectify an issue with the writable drive?

Thanks,

CNL
