Try to go to "My Computer" (Explorer) and double click the icon for drive E.

I did go to My Computer and Click on the drive.....I had the blank CD in there to copy my files to and nothing happened. How do I get it to copy the selected files?

One the average PC - when you insert a CD-RW a window will open asking what you want the computer to do with the Disk. If you have specialized CD software like Nero I would use that software.
If you don't have that software you can still use Windows to write data to the CD. If you double click "my Computer" and then the CD drive it will open a window for the CD-RW disk. You can then open another Explorer Window and either copy or drag-and-drop files from the C drive to the CD-RW window (just size the 2 windows them so that they sit side by side on the screen). When you are finished moving files to the CD window - You click "File" and select "Write these files to CD" the PC will then (and only then) start to record the data on the CD. Good Luck
