Hi Brian.
I think you are a little confused.
Your GeForce FX 5500 is a graphics card
All this does is allow you to see your desktop on a monitor and play some games.
For burning discs you need a cd/dvd burner. This is a cd/dvd drive that you can use to read and write cd's and dvd's
You say that your program is telling you that there is no disc in the drive. (Your CD/DVD burner drive)
You can burn audio discs so this tells me you know that much and you have blank cd's so my two things I need to tell you are these..
1. To make a DVD or Burn a DVD you need a BLANK DVD disc in your burning drive. Maybe you have mistakenly placed a CD in the drive instead?
2. Your Burner drive may not burn DVD's only CD's?
Check on the door to the drive that opens to allow you to place discs into it. It should say something like DVD multi recorder or Compact Disc re-writeable. If it does not say DVD on it anywhere your drive is not capable of burning DVD movies and therefore you will need to purchase another burner.
I hope this helps?
to make a folder right click in my documents select new folder you can name it lets say my music blues for the sake of this exercise
click start all programs accessories open windows explorer navigate to your music cd
select the cd right click copy and then paste the music into your newly made folder folder or
click and hold the cursor and drag and drop the cd into your new folder
if you are downloading data from the internet
once it starts downloading windows will ask whether you want to run or save it
a browse option will open you can save it into your folder in my documents
once you have done this open up your burning software depending on which it is you can choose either a data cd or dvd or burn an image you would select the option make an audio cd or music cd depending on the burning sofware
