Can't copy images to CD's
Hi all, I have a recent problem and seek help, please
My computer has Windows XP Home Edition installed, and a DVD/CD-ROM drive fitted: with it, I can play and record DVD's, and can play recorded music on CD's, via Windows Media Player. However, I am unable to copy image files (.jpg etc.) onto CD's, and that is my problem. When I have attempted to make copies in recent days, I am continually confronted with a box titled Problem Copying coming on screen and noting that: "Windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this file. What do you want Windows to do (retry, skip or cancel?)" In a different approach, I attempt to use the CD Writing Wizard (the wizard that helps one write files to a CD recording drive), but after a few moments of attempted processing, the following comes on screen: "CD Writing Wizard Cannot complete to the CD Writing Wizard. There was an error in the writing process." The problem appears to be software. Any suggestions, please? Keith |

Sorry, you cannot just copy to a CD like you can to a hard drive or a USB memory stick. There are two ways to do it and both require a program like Nero or Roxio to do it. With either program you can copy a bulk of data to a CD or a DVD and that is the normal way to do it. If you only have small items to store frequently you can copy those to CD and keep copying day after day until the CD is full. However you need a part of the program which on Roxio is called 'Drag to Disk' and on Nero, I think is called 'InCD'. These are not compatible so if you have used to format with one, as you need to do, then you must keep using that one for writing. If you have a CD/RW then you can also delete with that program. A memory stick I have has room for 2 GB of storage and if you get one of those or even a 500Mb you can reasonably safely use one of those. That makes copying a lot easier.

Can't copy images to CD's
If your image files are in your pictures folder, then go to media center and
open it then create a cd/dvd and it should formatt etc. and burn or rip them from there. -- Thanks, George "Keith Tinlin" wrote: Hi all, I have a recent problem and seek help, please My computer has Windows XP Home Edition installed, and a DVD/CD-ROM drive fitted: with it, I can play and record DVD's, and can play recorded music on CD's, via Windows Media Player.
