Here's why:
* DVD-ROM stands for Digital Versatile Disc - Read Only Memory. This means it's designed to only read data from DVDs.
* CD-RW or CD-R drives are needed to write or burn data onto CDs.
Think of it like this: a DVD-ROM drive is like a CD player - you can only listen to music, not record new tracks.
If you want to burn CDs, you'll need a drive specifically labeled as a CD writer, CD burner, or CD-RW.
