cdrw issue?
Greetings all,
I am starting to setup my 530S, but have nioticed a strange problem wht I try to use the CDRW. On my old 2400 I was able to drag and drop files into the folder using explorer or have an auto back up set up like in Quicken to save my file to the RW disk. I can not figure out what I am missing. I can not drag and drop, I can not have the auto back-up from Quicken save to the disk. I have earsed all files from the 2400 so it is clean, I cannot locate a format for the disk. So what did I miss. Sorry for being so ignorant but I tried to search the web for help to no avail. Any leads to sites or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks for yor help, Dave |

i think you're just missing the software that usually comes with these systems, like roxio "drop to disc" dave wrote: Greetings all, I am starting to setup my 530S, but have nioticed a strange problem wht I try to use the CDRW.

Try right clicking the drive and check the Properties dialog box Do you have "Enable CD recording on this drive" checked? |

Yes and I still have not been able to get it to work, it seem sthat the dell
branded software is just a tease. I finally found a open source DVD burning program that will take ant file convert and then burn for you, dvdflick. I use to use roxio 5.xx and it used direct cd. I find nothin glike that here with Roxio 10DE.

Are you running Vista or XP on the 530S? Sounds like Vista to me.
It also sounds like the Roxio package bundled recently with Dell boxes is deficient. The Roxio bundled with Dell systems running XP had the necessary add-ons allow the drag-and-drop and similar actions. A word of caution about CD-RW disks. Yes, they are convenient in allowing drag-and-drop once they are formatted. But they are none too popular because they have the habit of failing at unexpected moments...

Running XP SP3
I agree Roxio package sucks, no DVD burning software and it seems no D&D. From what I have been able to find the DE on the end stands for Dell Edition, its a very stripped down version, I guess they want you to buy it and let their greed get more money for them. Thats why i try to use open source or shareware programs to the unmost, like my dvd burnign software now, dvdflick. Dave- "Ben Myers" wrote in message ... Are you running Vista or XP on the 530S?

Dave,
You've taken a page from my book. I still keep a copy of Nero Express on this computer, but I use CDBurnerXP and ImgBurn for most DVD and CD burning. I have never looked for a freeware/shareware drag-and-drop CDRW program, because I do not use the CDRW blanks. I bet that one exists...

Try right clicking the drive and check the Properties dialog box Do you have "Enable CD recording on this drive" checked? Top posting corrected I should mention tha twhen I try to drag and drop it I get a ballon that open and says I have files waiting to be writtne to the CD but can not figure out how to do it. When you have done that, do the files appear (with pale icons) on the CD drive? If so, click on the 'Write these files to CD' command (either on the left hand side of the explorer window, or right click the drive icon and select the option from the context menu). |
