Test it in MS-DOSm click start, then run, and type cmd and press enter. In the command prompt, type dir e: (assuming e is the drive letter of your cd-rw) and press enter. If it displays a list of files then it's fine. You could also try booting off the windows xp cd-rom

are you using the same cd's? are you burning them at a speed higher than they are capable of?
i tried burning apparently 24x cd's at 48 and had similar problems.

I had the same problem and I just bought another drive because I only discovered it when I was trying to install windows after my hard disk broke!
