If you are trying to burn a CD using Disk Utility and you keep getting "Select another drive...the drive is busy," and you happen to be running Parallels in another window (minimized, etc.), you may need to release the CD/DVD drive from Parallels.

Click on the Parallels window, and at the bottom of the window on the right-hand side, you'll see an icon of a CD. Click on this and select Disconnect. Now you can burn CDs to your heart's content using your Mac's Disk Utility.
