Is your "D: drive" a CD, CD-R or CD-RW drive?

You may wish to visit the Phillips support web site
and see which name brand CD-RW discs they recommend
for use with their drives. You may have to download a
firmware update.

My new pc (Compaq XPsp2) came with "Sonic Record Now" on it, and I wasn't
familiar with it (my old millennium had adaptec on it which was not user
friendly IMO), and I had to go through a learning curve on getting old files
from my old computer and making recovery discs for the new one, etc.).
Check start/programs to see if you have it, or some other program
similar...Pete
