Richard:

Check to make sure your CDRW drive is using DMA. Many times when
upgrading from Win9X/ME to XP, DMA settings do not get carried over.

Go into Device Manager and right click on the IDE channel the drive is
hooked to. Select properties, advanced settings. Make sure DMA if
available is selected.
