Default CD RW won't write after formating.

I am able to write to non-rewritable CD's fine (using
Windows XP CD Writing software builtin to XP). But I've
tried formating several new disc using "InCD's" writing
software but every time I place the CD RW in the Drive it
takes a long time for Window XP to read it. Then when I
click on folder for the CD RW I get a message that the
drive is not accessible.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated,
Bryon

Hi

Try using a 3rd party software like NeroBurn or Easy CD
Creator and see what happens.

InCD is from Nero. This is the packet writing utility which will create a
CD-RW as it was a HUGE floppy drive.

I have never used 'InCD" but I had great success with the 'DirectCD" from
Roxio.
