Hi. I have windows XP home edition. when i insert a CD-
R/RW into my burner i do not receive any dialog box for
CD burning/files drag drop. is this function not
available with Windows XP Home edition?
 
You normally will not receive any type of dialog. Drag the files you want to burn to the CD-RW drive, in Windows Explorer. When they're all there, right click the CD-R/RW drive and select Write these files to CD.

You can also right click the file(s) in question and choose Send To, then your CD-R/RW drive.
 
XP's integrated burning function does not support Packet Writing which is
necessary in order to enable drag and drop. In order to enable that
function, you need third party software such as the Direct CD or Drag to
Disk component of Easy CD Creator, www.roxio.com or the InCD component of
Nero, www.nero.com. Please see websites for version compatibility with XP
and drive compatibility.
