>>I know I'm not the only one who has problems with XP
and
>>CD reading/burning. Let's start a thread with
different
>>solutions (that work) to the problem.

>>Too many times I've gotten a system error when trying
to

built

>>to read it. Problems with deleting temporary files
that
>>XP is "waiting" to burn to CD.
>>
>>Here is my most current solution:
>>
>>When I'm not burning a CD, go to the drive properties
>and
>>disable Recording. This gets rid of XP's recording
>>option and doesn't get in the way of reading a CD.
When
>>I want to burn a CD, I enable recording, and use nero
>>5.5. Finish the process, and then disable recording
>>until future needs. I know this isn't the most
>efficient
>>method, but it's been working so far.
>>
>>What is everyone else doing to work around this issue?
>>
>>(Hopefully) I'm not the only one left still tinkering
>>around with this!

>>Looking forward to some replies.

>>I'm afraid I don't have any solutions...only
questions.

the

>Have had similar problems with trying to burn CD only to
be told there is a problem with XP Writing Wizard. Have
now installed Prassi Primo DVD and am using this to burn
CD.
