You may have had a 3rd party CD recording program on your Dell.
XP's recording wizard does not allow recording to DVDs of any type. You
need a 3rd party DVD recording program in order to burn DVDs.
To erase files from a CD rewritable disc:
1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
2. In My Computer, right-click the CD recording drive, and then click Open.
Windows displays a temporary storage area where files are held before they
are copied to the CD. Files or folders that are located in the temporary
storage area are listed in the Files Ready to Be Written to the CD box.
3. In the CD Writing Tasks pane, click Erase this CD-RW. The Welcome to the
CD Writing Wizard dialog box is displayed. After you click Next, the Erasing
the CD dialog box is displayed and the progress bar displays the progress of
the process.
4. When the process is finished, you receive a message in the notification
area and you can use the CD-RW disc.Note: Not all CDs are erasable. If the
CD that you are using is not erasable, for example, then this feature is not
available.

CD Drive enable XP's recording wizard
Open My Computer, right click the CD Drive icon and then click
Properties. Click the Recording tab.
Check: Enable CD recording on this drive
Click: Apply
Click: OK
Enable CD recording on this drive
This setting turns on the built-in CD recording features included with
Windows XP.
Third-party programs sometimes disable this setting.
You can only enable CD recording for one device at a time.
This is already enabled.
My computer is only 2 months old, so perhaps it never was there in
the first place. Perhaps the Right-Click delete shortcut is not
available for DVD-RW drives. My previous Dell had a CD-RW drive, and it
definitely has the shortcut.
