Copying data to a CD-RW

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have backed-up my Quicken onto a CD-RW. When I try to back-up the file
again I receive a message that Windows cannot read the CD. When I go to My
Computer or to Windows Explorer, the Quicken files are listed. Properties
shows the CD is full. Can't Windows just overwrite the existing file and do
the back-up?

It would help to know which release of Quiken you have. Quiken 2004 had
several problems writing directly to a CD.

Try doing the Quiken backup to some folder on the hard drive and copy/move
from that folder to the CD-RW.
