Writing Data Cd's in XP

We have a portable usb cd writer here, and if i plug it into my win xp machine it all works fine, and I geta little wizard poping up asking me if I want to create a data cd. I plug it into one another xp machine and the cd drive gets installed but I can't seem to get it to create a data cd, it just says device not accesible.
This is a Freecom FX1 cd writer.
Any ideas would be great.

that is because you either dont have cd writing on or there is another cd writing program that took over writing to a cd

to enable CD writing: right click on drive>properties>recording>Enable Writing to CD
