"Cannot Find CD Burner or Burning Software"

Question

I'm trying to burn a mix that I've made in iTunes 7.2 . I click the "Burn CD" in the bottom right hand corner of the window, and it reads up at the top that it cannot locate my CD burner or the burner software.
One interesting thing I've noticed is that when I inserted the blank CD, it was not recognized by iTunes. So when I went into the preferences to check which drive it was sending the data to, it had the correct device.
This is not the first time it's happened with programs outside of iTunes. My Iomega HotBurn is not working either. I do have Daemon Tools installed and drives mounted, which is probably where the problem is, but the friend who recommended Daemon Tools said that his computer has been burning discs just fine with Daemon Tools loaded on.
Please help ASAP.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
