IBM Record Now and WMP used to be able to co-exist on my computer
and copy cd's successfully.
When I say that the whole cd was copied I mean that the whole copy
process was completed, and I could see the tracks that were burned
on the underside of the cd.
After these programs first stopped being able to copy, I had a
computer tech wipe out my whole hard drive and re-install everything
(He did this because my PC was totally messed up with viruses).
Even after the re-installation , I still couldn't copy cd's.
But, my old problem isn't even a problem anymore. Now when the
program asks me to put a cd to be coppied into the cd drive, and I
put the cd in, I keep getting asked to put a cd into that drive. It
doesn't even detect a cd in the drive.
