I have the exact same problem. It is not that I cannot use a seperat burning
program, but I just want to figure out why I cannot make it work, using
Vistas built in function.
It doesn't matter whether I drag and drop; or choose "copy to disc"; or
right-click on a file and choose "send to" -> "DVD-drive".
It doesn't matter whether it is a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.
I simply manage to format lots of discs...

I hope Microsoft has this fixed in the final release.

Has any one figured this out? I can format a CDR or DVDR but when I drag and drop the item, nothing happens.
