Problem writing to CDRW
Using a Lite-On 48x12x48. When i try to write to a CDRW i get the error
message: Cannot copy [file name]: Files on this CD-ROM drive are read-only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive. The only way i can use this CDRW is to open Nero, erase the disk and then add the files i want. I have to do this every time. I tried using InCD, but it doesn't seem to do anything. It says it's formatting, but afterwards nothing changes. (What does InCD do anyhow?) Curiously, other CDRW work perfectly. Any advice on how to get the CDRW to work like it's supposed to?

Any advice on how to get the CDRW to work like it's supposed to? It seems likely that it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do in Nero. Please see one of the usual sources for information on the behavior of erasable and write-once CDs: the CD-R FAQ and the primer at my WWW site. You should also check on packet writing there to understand what UDF is all about. It seems likely that you are trying to master to a formatted (UDF) disc. Since the disc has been written by formatting, it cannot be mastered until it is erased. Few recommend writing fixed-length packets since it is the most fragile and least reliable way to write to CD. To return the disc to a condition where it can be mastered, you may need to do a full erase, not a quick one. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |
