Thanks to you guys for helping on earlier post, but I've
done the SP1, and fixed the Blaster worm, but still no CD
burner. Is there a driver that I need to download?

Kent,

Thanks for the link to Microsoft bulletin. I was having the same problem and with the Regedit suggestions my computer will now recognize the drive. However, now when I select the files to copy and go into the CD Writing Wizard, it keeps asking me to insert a writable CD. I have tried several blank CD-R's but it doesn't seem to recognize that they are writable. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to use Nero Burning. It is great. The built in CDR support
is very poor as you may have noticed. Does Nero's disk information say the
CD is blank and burnable? If not it is time for new CD-ROM drive.
