I can't save files to disk... ARG!!

[Brandy]

I use Word Perfect 8 for my work and back up all of my files to disk
(CD-RW). When I try saving any files to disk on XP, I keep getting an
access denied, you do not have rights to do this message. On win 98 SE, I
just backed up to the disk drive and had no problems. Is there a secret
that I'm missing to do it here?!

EEK!!! XP is going to take A LOT of adjusting!! Is it better once you're
used to it?!... :-(

If you have don't have Direct CD or some other packet writing software
installed, you can neither read packet written disks nor can you write you
to them and that would have been the case in 98SE as well.

I have CD Writing Wizard (at least I think that would be the name). It's
what came with the computer. It let me write to one new/unused CD-RW disk
and now I can't do anything else with it... This is a combo DVD-RW and
CD-RW driver...

P.S. What is a packet written disk?

A packet written disk is formatted with the packet writing software (Do not
use Windows format command to format a CD) for the purpose of being able to
drag and drop file directly to disk. This same function allows you to save
directly to disk.

My guess is, CD Writing Wizard is disk mastering software. No need to
format but it creates a CD the same way you create an audio or music CD in
sessions and that doesn't allow for dragging and dropping or saving directly
to disk.
