Burning CD's
I attempt to burn a cd using the cd burning wizard. When I click "write
these files to cd" I get a window that comes up and says: Insert a writable disc to continue There is no disc in the drive Please insert a writable cd into drive d:\. I already have a writable cd in the drive before I click on the button to copy. Does the cd need to be formated before I can write to it? If so, how do I format the cd? |

Could be a bad CD-R. does this happen to more than 3 CDs??
Are they generics or name brand CD-Rs?

Dont use XP's built-in
burning. It's hopeless. And doesnt support packet-wriring. Install something like CD Creator/DirectCD Heaps better. "Nicholas Coday" wrote in message ...

No. And that's not an option with the built-in burner. See http://www.aumha.org/a/xpcd.htm for a rundown on its capabilities. Other CD software is more sophisticated, but only you can decide whether it's worth the expense. Before clicking "write these files", clear that screen. Then, in Windows Explorer, drag the file to be written to the CD drive letter. When loading has finished, and the "write these files" screen reappears, click on that choice once again - and see if it now accepts the CD as writable. Of course, if the CD has been closed (after a prior session) it will not be writable. AUDIO CDs are automatically closed, so when making them be sure to have all files ready for burning in THAT session. DATA CDs can be appended, but it's not necessarily efficient and economical. |
