How do I fix this?

[Guest]

When I try to burn my movie to a cd I get a message saying "A recordable CD drive was not detected." I have a CD-RW/DVD player in my computer but for some reason it can't locate it. Is there any other way for me to burn the movie to a disk? or will I need to search online for different movie making software to accomplish this?
