Two questions...
Are you able to drag files onto the drive, so that it would show the files as 
waiting to be copied to CD? If so, then right-click on those files after the 
drag-drop and see if it gives the option of WRITE TO CD.

Second... is there anything running on the bottom right that might be for the 
drive? Burning software running in the background?

| Here is the strange part...
|
| It is acting like there is no CD in the drive.
| Yet, if you double click the burner in explorer it
| will open. And show nothing...Like it is empty...
