Are you using software or just dragging and dropping? If
you're using software, make sure you finalize your CD.
 
Well if u r unable to make the Windows CD burning work,
tyr downloading a trial copy of Nero Burning ROM to make
sure that the CD-R drive is not a problem.

You shouldn't have to finalize a CD-R to view it. Finalizing a CD-R use used
mainly when you want to be able to play the CD on a device other than a
computer (music cd's, mp3 cd's, and video cd's). If you are just burning
files to a CD-R, you can leave it open, in case you would like to add more
to it in the future.

Burning files to a CD-R using Windows XP:
When a recordable (blank) CD-R disc is put in to a CD-RW drive on a computer
running Windows XP you will see the following window appear. Select the
"Open CD folder using Windows Explorer" option. Click OK. A window will
open showing the contents of the drive letter which corresponds to the CD-RW
drive. You can now "drag and drop" items into this volume (drive letter)
using the left mouse. Notice that there is a small arrow pointing down on
the copied file icon. This indicates that it is in the CD-R copy buffer but
not on the CD media yet. You must click on the "Write these files to CD"
link located in the upper left corner of the window under the section
entitled "CD Writing Tasks". The CD Writing Wizard will appear and ask you
to name the CD-R. Insert a name or leave the default and then click on
Next. At this point, the files will actually begin coping from the CD-R copy
buffer to the CD-R media itself. When completed you can select Finish. The
CD-R copy buffer will then be deleted from your hard drive.
