Disc won't burn from my iTunes?

I am trying to burn a playlist onto a cd, in my itunes, and it won't work. The error prompt says:
"Disc Burner or software not found" I put in a data disc, and still, the same prompt. I know I have burned a disc in the last few months from this very same pc, so what gives? How else can I email this music to a friend, who would be able to burn this playlist for me?
I'm not very "digital files" savvy, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

The discs I am using actually DO say re-wr, and they say CD-R not DVD (cuz that's wht I thought was the prob b4). What does this mean?

Add to above: The drive says "dvd rom"...I know I have burned music discs b4 using this drive!

Yeah im pretty sure the way you last burned a CD is gone. Does it say anything the the CD drive like ReWritable?
