Somehow I cannot burn a CD since installing my new Ipod. Prior to
installation I was able to right click a file and an option "Copy (or Burn)
to CD" would be in the menu. It is not there now. If I drag a file to the
cd drive, it says it is not accessible. When I insert a blank CD, RealOne
media starts. I can't burn a CD from there either. The CDRW works fine when
reading and music or data CD. I have restored the system prior to the
installation of the IPod and nothing changed. Any suggestions?

Thanks
