Start->Run-> services.msc
Maximize the Services Window that eventually opens
Scroll down to IMAPI CD-Burning.. and double click on it
Select startup is Automatic, and Start it
Apply Ok
Close Services Window

Then check the Drive again
You should also try restarting your computer, then test again too

System specs
sachinda, perchance, are you running vista?

cause if it is, then it's probably a filtering issue - which is easily resolved
