Uuum I know this sounds dumb but how do I find out if I have CD and CD-RW drives installed? What do I press to find out? I managed to burn once yesterday, so assume I may have them though?

It definitely was working OK prior to XP. Am making a strong coffee and building myself up to another try.

The oddest thing is that when I try to burn sometimes it goes through all the motions eg checks the discs and reads the buffers, then starts to burn and aborts at about 10%. It just says 'burn failed'.
