CD-RW CD creation on windows xp sp2?

I have an Inspiron 4000 with an Adaptec CD-RW. The original OS was Windows 2000 and the kit came with a CD that contains the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02d_D8, Adaptec DirectCD 3.01d_D8, Dell Version 8.0.
 
I recently upgraded the OS to Windows XP SP2 but I found that I am unable to burn a CD with Windows XP SP2 alone.
 
Do I need to install the Adaptec software that is compatible with Windows XP SP2? If so please tell me where I can download the Windows XP SP2 equivalents of the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02d_D8, Adaptec DirectCD 3.01d_D8, Dell Version 8.0 as well as any other software that I may not know about.
 
Thanks for your help

Adaptec version 4 is really old and it not supported at all.  It is also
not compatible with Windows XP.  Adaptec became Roxio and version 6 through
9 are compatible with XP.  Also, as you have found, the built-in XP burning
software is very limited.  Roxio is a commercial program, thus there are no
downloads of it.  However, there are some good free software available.
Consider one of the following ...............

Your advice on downloading the free CD Burner XP was spot on! It worked like a charm on my SONY CD-RW CRX700E.
 
Thank you for your kindness
