still can't burn to cdrw

[Bill]

I hae a compaq computer recently upgraded to win xp from
win 98 everything went perfect....i could burn cd's with
no problem. until hard drive died. got new hard drive,
reloaded clean install of win xp pro, again without any
problems during install, No driver issues until i notice
i cant burn cds anymore. It is only seen a cd-rom not
cdrw. so off to microsoft support and found article on
this mislabeling issue and now i can almost write to cd.
i get an error after cd writing wizzard tries to continue.

the error is "insert a writable disc to continue"
there is no disc in drive. please insert a writable disc
into drive d:\ But i do have good disc in drive.

I have clean disk, neither cdr or cdrw will get me past
this.
I have also put this drive into other machined and same
problem. i kind of thinking its a hardware issue, maybe
when hard drive died it took cdrw with it...

any ideas... thanks Bill

You have to use something like DirectCD
or INCD (part of Nero). XP does have
XP burning built in, BUT it doesnt support
packet-writing.
