what does connect a burner and restart player mean?

i've had my pc for a year brand new, its windows vista and its always burned
my cd's now when i try to burn, the message "connect a burner and restart
player" pops up

Most probably your dc/dvd player is not detected.
Open Device Manager (Control Panel > Classic View) and check if your
device is
enabled of if you see any red or yellow marks.
You can also click "Action" and select "Scan for hardware changes" if
this option appears.

Also read this (Applies to Vista too!):

'HP and Compaq Desktop PCs*-* CD or DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows
98, ME, or XP)*'
