Look for software that came with the CD-RW drive for creating CD's like "Record Now." If you find the driver software for the CD-RW, try re-installing it and it should also install the software to burn CD's. If you cannot find the software, check the manufacturer's site for downloading it.

Most likely when they reconfigured your system they did not install the CD Burning software (or Direct CD type software). Get the disc that came with your burner and go through the install instructions and process carefully. It should resolve your issue. After installing, I'd go to the manufacturer's website and download any updates and patches that are available for your OS.

Good luck..hope this helps!
