Blank CD not recognised

[=?Utf-8?B?enlsb2c0NA==?=]

Having installed a new Sony AWG 170A DVD/CD drive I found tha Windows XP
would not recognise it as a recordable device. I changed the value data for
the "Drive Type" in the registry to "2" ( CD-RW ) and this produced a
"Recording " tab under CD drive (Properties) in My Computer. When I try to
burn a CD-R or RW disk, I am asked to insert a blank disk even after doing so!
Any suggestions?
