you MUST start researching the diff between burning to a CDR and
drag/dropping to a CDRW disk.....HUGE DIFFERENCE...

As usual Dr. Phil's answer is useless.
But he does have a point.
Use windows Explorer to drag the files over to drive D and then open that
drive.
On the left side of the screen you will see the option to burn these files
to the CD.
Click that and they will burn.
Your receiving the error because you can't simply copy them like with a
floppy disk.

A bad install, or removal, of the Roxio software leaves orphaned entries
in the registry, and at boot the initialisation gives up on the drive.
To tidy up, get a registry patch file, cdgone.reg, from
www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip, extract it, r-click on it and merge
it into the registry

You will then need to reinstall any burning software that you *do* use,
or enable the inbuilt burning at My Computer; right click its icon;
Properties and check 'Enable' on the recording page.

You should then be able to open that icon and drag files to the window
that opens; subsequently taking 'Write Files to CD' on the left. Or
get the files there by right clicking - Send To - the CD burner drive
