Crowbuster, go to eMachines website for info:

Near the bottom of that page you can chat with support.
When you put a blank CD or DVD in the appropriate drive, you can't click on that drive letter in "my computer" to open the drive up in a window.
I have a Sony that allowed you to open the drive in a new window and then you could drag and drop files into it. Then burn the disk from there.
On my eMachine, you need to use a program called Nero Express to burn Cd's and DVD's. Have you tried that yet?
