You don't need the blank CD to 'open up' a window in order to use it.

Just open your burning software and follow the burning process through that.

OR

Have you burned CDs before on this machine, and it's suddenly stopped working?

Before attempting any fixes for that, download CDBurnerXP and try burning again.
