No matter what program I use (Record Now, Windows Media=20
Player, etc.), I get an error message that the device=20
does not recognize the blank CD, it spits out the disc,=20
and says "retry". I retry with another blank CD, same=20
error message. I've re-installed the driver for the DVD-
CD writer, no worky.
This is the 2nd brand new HP Pavilion, the first one I=20
sent back because it had the same problem.=20
What am I doing wrong??
