For your CD-RW to actually work as a writer (burner), you MUST also install
a writing (burning) software utility - which may or may not have been
supplied with your CD-RW - e.g. Nero Burning, Easy CD Creator, Pinnacle 8,
etc. Whoever supplied you with your Samsung CD-RW should also be able to
supply you with a suitable program.

WinMe does not include burning software, so your CD-RW will only act as a
CD-ROM until you install a writing (burning) utility.
