"There is no disc in the drive"

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

I saw this issue on a Desktop that I upgraded from Windows 2000 to
XP Pro. The 2000 had EasyCD Creator which had to be uninstalled
before installing XP. After the upgrade any attempt to use the native
burning would give the message about No Disk. I checked through
the Registry and could never track it down. The proper key was set
to enable burning. Finally, installed the free CDBurnerXP Pro and it
would burn either CD-R or RW's. I haven't had a chance to revisit
the problem but something with native XP burning was corrupted or
perhaps a remnant of EasyCD Creator was the cause.

Of course, I install it for users who don't want to purchase a burner
package http://www.cdburnerxp.se/download.php I would appreciate
your feedback on how it performs for you.

It worked! Thank you.

By the way, I noticed a trend that the MS MVP Windows - Shell/User people
usully refer to google! That's easy! But, really why does the windows xp
burner does not work as advertised?

I appreciate everyone's help so far. Unfortunately, the CDBurner XP download
did not work for me. I now get an error message via them that says "No media
inserted in the selected device. Please insert a recordable media and try
again". It still isn't recognizing my disc.
I know it's not a hardware problem because other discs are able to be read
and downloaded. I can't seem to get the files burned onto the disc. Any
other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help with this.
