Guest Loveembirds Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 seems I cannot put photos from my documents, etc. onto a cd via my DVD and DVD RW drives. If I put a CD that already has data on it in either of these , it reads the data on that CD just fine. However, if I put a blank CD into either of the drives , my computer is not recognizing the such and says to " insert a disk" into either the E or F drive, --whichever the case may -when I'm trying either drive. There is a Roxio program on here that sometimes pops up and wants me to put data on it via that program, however- I just want to "send to" the photo -or whatever -straight to the CD without going through Roxio. Any ideas? Know this is prob.a no brainer for most of you but I'm no puter expert by a long shot. Thanks if you can help!

One very good, free, and open source CD/DVD writer is InfraRecorder: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5 Here is a video showing how to burn files to a disc: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1jnYiVfufMQ BTW, you probably need to be logged in as an administrator in XP to be able to burn discs (no idea why XP makes it so!!?!). Good luck.
