Doubleclick the My Computer icon on desktop and rightclick your CD drive
and click Properties. Then click the Recording tab and make sure the

Difference Between a CD-R and CD-RW
They look the same. If you want to "burn" music to a CD, you must use, only
a CD-R. Or you may copy a game from one CD-R to another CD-R (your computer
requires a CD-burner to do this. After burning your CD-R either for music or
games, that disk can never be used again for anything else. Where a CD-RW is
rewriteable, meaning whatever data you place on that disk can later be erased
or the disk reformatted so that it may be used again for something else. The
CD-RW is primarily used only for data files.
CD-R is for writing once and reading many times, whereas CD-RW is for
writing up to 1000 times and reading many times. CD-R's are compatable with
many devices including cd players and dvd players if properly burned. CD-RW's
will usually only work with computers regardless of the format of the final
CD (SVCD, VCD, Data or Audio CD) although some cd and dvd players do support
them it is rare.
Another difference is that a CD-RW costs almost five times that of a CD-R.
