The "Enable CD recording on this drive" setting turns on the built-in CD recording features included with Windows XP. The only reason to disable this feature is if you always prefer to use a third-party program and want to avoid any possible conflict between that program and Windows XP. If you don't see a Recording tab, then Windows XP doesn't recognize your CD burner's recording capabilities.
How to enable CD recording in Windows XP
