Wmp11 doesn't let me burn a cd?

[Guest ExplicitYourSelf]

The CPU is a compact wiondows xp home edition. This is the first time that i

am trying to burn a dvd-r cd as data? Im pretty much trying to back up my

music just incase anything was to happen. I added all the songs to the burn

list, I switched the type from audio cd to data cd since I wanted to make a

data cd. WMP reads that the disk is blank and then i go ahead and click

"burn" and as soon as i click on burn the cd gets ejected from the tower,

Would anyone have any idea as far as whats wrong with my computer. I dont

have any problems burning audio cd's or data cd's using CD-R, so i'm not sure

whats going on ?If you need more info about my computer just let me know.

Thanks =)

 

 

EDIT: This is the drivers I have ASUS CD S480/AH & LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-832S

Check your computer capability for burning DVD's, as you probably do not

have the capability to burn a DVD. Probably it has a CD-RW, but not DVD-RW

capability,

Where do I go to see my computers capabilities? When I click on my computer

it shows that I have DVD-RW Drive (I:) which is the first tray on the tower

and CD Drive (J:) which is the second tray on the tower.

Install free Belarc Advisor and it will tell you everything about your

computer, both hardware and software that is installed. Also the status of

Windows Security updates installed.

It sounds as if you have the hardware, but not the software to burn DVD's.

Windows XP does not contain built-in software to burn DVD's. You will need

third party software.

What software are you using right now? Windows XP does not natively burn

to a DVD only CDs. You need something like Nero or Roxio (I prefer Nero

myself.)

CDBurnerXP (which is free) can handle that and much more:

Re: Wmp11 doesn't let me burn a cd?

 

I agree with Patty in that I also prefer Nero over Roxio. Nero has many

features and for the most part is user friendly.

 

You probably can find an older version, which is new, on eBay for Nero

relatively cheap. Frankly I prefer the older version Nero 7 over Nero 8.

 

Belarc is a great application to let you know both hardware and software,

as I mentioned previously
