It means you can't save to the D: drive just like it says.

Use a new unused DVD disk, open your writing software, then save them to the
new disk.

XP doesn't write to DVD's but you should be able to use explorer to write to
a CD, re-writable or not.

Is it a RW disk that you formatted or just a regular CDR?

If you formatted a CDR you will never be able to copy anything to it =) You
just made a coaster =) I smile because most of us make a lot of coasters.

Use a different CDR and copy them over to it.

You never want to format a CDR just the CDRW's

Hope that helps you out!

I'd try another CD if I were you. When you say you formatted it what did you
do, if you use the wizard then there is no need to format and I'm not sure
what it will do to the disk.
