Reinstalling Direct CD in XP system 32

I had to reformat my hard drive recently and now when I reboot my computer I
get an error message telling me I need to reinstall a driver, CDR4_XP.SYS. It
shows up as being on the system when I do a search, and I have no clue how or
where to get a new copy to install or how to do it because this is the core
system and it doesn't want me messing with it (I wholeheartedly agree with
it, but I want my tunes!). All input will be appreciated but please bear in
mind I am a greenhorn neophyte with computers. Use small words.
 
This file is part of Roxio's Easy CD Creator system. Version 4 of Easy CD
was never compatible with XP. Look at updating to version 6 or 7.

BTW: DirectCD is now known as Drag to CD.
 
Ah, something simple. I didn't even know it was not part of the XP base
system. I will get the more recent version. Thanks.
 
No, this is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr

I also had easy cd creator on my xp machine and tolerated the "devices
disabled" balloon for years.
Roxio awknowledges the issue with a price tag for an upgrade only and
microsoft doesnt offer their own system files for downloads (other than dll).
Microsoft suggests instead, I delete the files and do nothing more than
remove all refrenced registries which disables the rom drives or option #2,
turn off PnP.
One of my removable drives is old and relies on a host application for
browsing (creative nomad), this will not work with PnP diabled. I never
needed my digital camera or mp3 players anyway. Thanks microsoft.

Would norton auto protect be connected to these drivers through a
svchost.exe? Because Norton autodetect wont load after I disabled SSDP
service.

Cdralw2k.sys
Cdr4_2K.sys
If anyone knows of a site which offers these or another way to remove these
Roxio products SAFELY Id be extremely greatful, trying to change this ive
inadvertantly caused windows to load wierd andnow takes me 15-20 mintes to
logon and windows folders hang.
