Hello Dave, make sure you're pointing the program to the correct drive. If you have more than one drive and the other one isn't a burner you'll get that error message. If you do have two drives, make sure that you set the jumpers so one is MASTER and the other one is SLAVE = failure to do this will mess up everything as well. If you don't know how to check the jumpers feel free to email me and I'll explain it step by step for you. (shopbruce@gmail.com) Hope this helps - Bruce

If you want to check whether you can burn a cd using another application try http://cdburnerxp.se/

It is free (and good) so it might help you understand if the problem is with Media Player.
