I guess you could burn an image file in windows to your computer then burn it though osx. I don't have parallels so I can't help you fix the problem, only offer a work around.

What program are you using in Windows XP to burn with? Does the drive work otherwise in XP? Just the Burning App does not recognize it?

Yeah, just install the parallel tools for Windows, and your mac folders will show right up on the desktop.

Select to install them from the VM menu and make sure you enable a folder to share by selecting the virtual machine, click edit and set a shared folder. (I just set my home folder).
