lately i have been unable to burn data onto cd's through windows programme, although i can burn them through nero, even when i double clock on the cd icon in my computer at the top left it yoused ro give me option to erase cd (use cd/rw).
ok what happens is i click on data that i want stored on cd, then click "copy to cd" pop up on task bar tells me i have files to copy to cd....then when i ask it to write files to cd, usual box pops up "welcome to the cd writing wizard"....when i click next, the box then tells me to insert a writable discto continue...which it is a writable disk and should be able to write too.
windows xp professional
philips dvd-/+rw
this is quite frustrating...please help..

i just posted a similar message, and the word i used several times was also frustrating. This problem has cost me many MANY hours of trying to figure out what the heck it is. I am new to this forum, and am not sure if i will be able to navigate back. If you get help, could you email me at bobb181818@yahoo.com....

thanks --- fellow frustrated person....
