access denied to cd-rw
I am using windows ME. I have a computer with a CD-RW
drive. I used it a number of times to copy important data files to a cd-rw disk. When I try to write data to a different cd-rw disk from the same package, it tells me access is denied, disk is either full or write protected. I know it is not full because I just pulled it out of a new box of cd-rw disks and properties shows it is empty. I have no idea how a cd-rw can become write protected? I know you can do this to a floppy disk but how can you do this to a cd-rw disk. If it is possible how do you remove the write protection? I have tried other cd-rw disks, but get the same results. However, if use the disk I have already used before, it works fine. This is really driving me crazy. I hope some one can help me, before I go nuts trying to figure this one out. |

You need to format CD-RW drives before you can use them (exactly the same as
a floppy) - use your burning software to do this -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Michael" wrote in message ...
