Seems even M'soft does not have a fix! They only talk of 'work-arounds'
I had to alter Registry to make computer recognise DVD drive as writable -
recommended by Msoft.
It will not recognise when a blank disc is inserted - 'please insert
writeable disk into Drive D' is all I get!
All this problem seemed to start with the installation of SP3!
Anyone know the answer - please!
 
DVDRW,rom,cdrw,cdroms,most all have a firmware update from its
mfg web site,try updating youre hardware.

Go to Control Panel - Admin Tools – Services
or click Start, Run and type : services.msc

Make sure that IMAPI CD Burning is Started.
If not, double click it, set Startup type to Manual, Apply.Exit and reboot.

Now in My Computer, right-click the drive, Properties, Recording Page and
make sure 'Enable recording' is checked and If the check mark to enable
recording is checked, uncheck it and hit apply and then recheck it and hit
apply.

If that doesn’t work see:

Thanks taurarian - I can now write to CD for the first time in months!
I am at a loss to know why IMAPI CD Burning was disabled - I certainly did
not disable it - at least, not intentionally!
 
Pleased the problem is now fixed.
