Hi isca sorry to here you problems, if you go into My Computer on your control panel does it show your CD & DVD players, are your drivers up to date and can you give the spec of your PC and do you have a burning suite, and have you downloaded XP SP3.

Optical drives don't need extra drivers under XP.

If you don't see a Recording tab, then Windows XP doesn't recognize your CD burner's recording capabilities. Check the Windows Hardware Compatibility List to make sure your drive is on the list. If the drive is listed and you can play CDs, but no Recording tab is visible, you'll need to manually edit the Registry using the instructions in Knowledge Base article, CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is Not Recognized as a Recordable Device.
