I have a CD-R or CD-RW installed but Windows XP thinks it's a regular CD ROM device. What now?

What is a CD-R and CD-RW?

Superscope Technologies
CD-R means "Compact Disc Recordable." It's a "write-once" media, which means the data (music) can't be overwritten, erased or reused (rerecorded). A completed or "finalized" CD-R can be played in virtually any standard CD player. CD-RW or "Compact Disc Rewritable," can be erased and rewritten (recorded) many times. The only drawback is a CD-RW won't playback in all CD players...the players must be CD-RW compatible.
