Rightclick the drive icon after you boot to Safe Mode, and logon to the default "Administrator" account.
Ther Properties should show a Security tab, with a Permissions button

You know that you can't save to a CD with a File - Save As dialog. You make a CD not save to a CD, they are not like a hard disk. There are programs that make a CD act like a floppy - they are not very good but some use them. One common program that comes with a lot of computers is InCD (and others with names like Direct Access).
Is this what is happening? You try to save a file onto the CD like it was a hard disk rather than saving the file on the hard disk, then doing a Send To the CD, then burning the CD?

So you need to start the program that came with the computer. Note it is not part of Windows. Also older versions of windows won't read disks made this way.
So I gave you two names did they ring a bell? What CD burning software do you have? Does Nero ring a bell?

As I said that is not a feature of Windows. You were supplied or bought a program that makes a CD-RW act as a floppy. You need to get that program back. Knowing the name would be a good start.
You may already be running the program and the program is generating the error. How did you get your computer or CD-RW if bought seperately? What brands is the CD-RW and the computer (if well known we can look it up on their web site)? How did you reinstall windows - there in not just one way.

the computer up the stairs what has the same problem is a packard bell and
the cd re writer was built into the computer and windows was already set in
too.
the computer down the stairs we put a philips dvdrw416
both computers we had to do a system disc and both computers have landed up
with the same problem,the packard bell one was already built in so why would
that have the same problem as the computer down stairs where we put the
philips one in.we havent changed any settings david so why the administrator
fault on the packard bell one,this is confusing

We'll do one at a time. As an ex philips employee we'll do my old company first.
The sales brochure says it comes with Nero (well it doesn't mention names but they have Nero's logo on the brouchure see http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvdrw416k_00/dvdrw416k_00_pss_eng.pdf), so that would be the InCD program that comes with Nero. Do you have the CD that came with the CD-RW drive.
Look in C:\Program Files\Ahead for a program called InCD. If you find it double click it. If not install the software that came with the philips (note only one L in philips).

Mark L. Ferguson said:You need to find an XP compatible driver for the CD or DVD 'burner' that enables that recording tab checkbox.
The device manager properties of the drive may have a Driver tab that allows a button for "UpDate Driver"

It's up to the maker of a device to provide a driver that works with the system. If they have not made a XP compatible driver for
that drive, nothing you do is going to change that.
