John

I have the same response when I try to save my pictures to a CD

"there is no disc in the drive. Please insert a writable CD".

I have a CD in. I have read the articles you referred Norm to and I went to
"My Computer" and then to "Devices with removable storage", "CD-RW Drive
E","Properties and Recordings".

Enable CD recording on this drive has a check mark.

Help!

What else can I try?


Local Disc (C is the only one in the drop down

and automatically eject the CD after writing is checked.

==================================
Try using the software that came
with your burner. Nero? Roxio?

How to ask a newsgroup question:

I have the same problem in this thread and nothing has worked.

I do not have any burning software, that I know of, such as roxio or
Nero...why can't I use XP's software to backup my pictures to CD? I
shouldn't have to spend $80+ on this software to backup files should I?
That's all I want to do, I do not want to burn CD's...just put my pictures on
a CD-RW or CD-R...I would be happy with either one.

I went to my Real Player to see if I could burn a CD there but it said it
could not locate any CD burner on my computer...don't know if that helps.

Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
