Go to Control Panel - Admin Tools - Services
or click Start, Run and type : services.msc

Make sure that IMAPI CD Burning is Started.
If not, double click it, set Startup type to Automatic, Apply.Exit and reboot.

Now in My Computer, right-click the drive, Properties, Recording Page and make sure
'Enable recording' is checked

CD-ROM drives don't have the "Recording" tab.

Are you sure they are "recordable drives" ?

| Have done what you said, when l look in my computer afterwards it still
| shows no tab, l have done this twice now would it be something to do with
| itunes? have deleted it from programs but PC world guy said it would still be
| in the registry and will need to remove it. Everything u said do shows me it
