Several things come to mind, but first, what burning software is installed?
To treat a CDRW like a giant floppy (drag 'n' drop files, etc.), you have to
have some kind of packet writing software installed. Further, you have to
format the CDRW media.
If, for example, you have a version of Roxio's EZ CD Creator/Direct CD, the
packet writing software is Direct CD. You will need to use Direct CD to
format your media.
