I want to save a web page file to a CD RW. I clk save as
and selected Drive M on my HP Pav. I get a message "no CD
in Drive M" when I do have CD in drive. Help please?

One does not "Save" files to a CD....it must be "Recorded" to a CD.

Crap
A CDRW can be treated as a large floppy.
(I just saved a file to it...)

If this has already been covered in the thread I apologize, but CD-RW disks
can only be used "as large floppies" if they are formatted and written to
using a proprietary program such as InCd. Otherwise they can be written to
and files deleted but the deleted files do not free up space to be over
written. To free up space on the disk, the complete disk must be erased.
This not the same as a floppy as the space created by deleted files can be
reused without erasing the whole disk.

The inbuilt burning does not support use of a CD as output media from a
program. It is not a method that provides for files being written
individually - just stashes them up to burn a batch of them later. Read
