When I Try To Burn Or Copy A Cd In Windows Media Player It Says No Device Detected Do You Know Why

Can you play a CD in this drive?

Is this drive listed under My Computer?

If so:

Also check the Device Manager: RT click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager or go to start/run/ devmgmt.msc for any "!"

If no issues there can you explain what steps you take from within WMP to burn a CD?

Do you have any third party burning software or are you using the XP built-in burner?

Also: is this a new problem? Were you able to do what you want to do previously?
