CD-RW isn't anymore

I can no longer write to my CD-RW. It now shows up as a CD-ROM, which
explains why I can't write to it.
So, how do I change it back to a CD-RW?
I vaguely remember there is a system utility somewhere, but I sure can't
find it.

InCD will format disks, but that is about all. I suppose they do it outside
of windows.

Thanks.

Hi John,

Right-click the drive in Windows Explorer, select properties. Go to the
Recording tab, make sure the option to enable recording is checked.

Unfortunately there is no recording tab there.
