Unable to copy to CD recently

I tried to put my movie to CD recently and a box popped up telling me that "a
recordable CD drive was not detected". I just made a movie in November...
Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? I have Windows XP and am using
Movie Maker that came with the computer.
Thanks for any and all help!

Do you have a CD writer ??

Go to "My Computer" Right click the CD Writer icon and select properties.
under the [Recording] tab make sure there is a check mark next to "enable CD
recording on this drive"

wojo,
thanks for the post. however, when i go to my CD-Rw drive (drive D) there is
no recording tab.
i think the problem lies with the windows program itself.
i did save to my computer / my videos and was able to copy video using Roxio.
am thinking that windows programs have problems.

That's interesting.
If there is no recording tab then normally I would have suspected either a
bad writer or a bad driver for that writer. But then Roxio recognized and
burned using the drive. Interesting. If it were me the next thing I would do
is check out the manufacturers website (for the disc drive) for updated
drivers or firmware.
