My computer came with a Philips cd burner I recently have
to reboot my system with the restore disk now the computer
or any of my other soft ware do not reconized my burner.

My question is how do I get my system to recordnize my
CDD 4851 CDR\RW So I can burn music etc.

Is your problem that the PC cannot see the drive at all or that you no longer
have the software installed that allows it to be used as a burner? In other
words can you see the file in Windows Explorer and can you read a CD if placed
in the drive? If you can see the drive and read disks but not write to disks
then you need to reinstall your CD burning software.

Thank you Mike but that's just it my system didnot come
with disk sofeware for my burner and there is nothing on
the boot disk either. I had it builded from ground up at
best buy over two years ago (no warrant left).

If you can see the drive and use it to read disks but not write to them then
you need to reinstall your unnamed burning software since Win Me includes
none. If you weren't supplied with a copy of the software when you bought
your PC and it isn't included on the recovery CD, which it appears it is not,
then you need to contact the manufacturer of your PC for help. Either that or
purchase a copy of the software. This isn't an operating system problem but
rather down to not having the necessary software installed required to burn
disks.
