Thanks again Clint and Keith. I will see if I can't find a different brand or two of CDs soon, and make sure my burner is working correctly, rather than just assume it doesn't like those particular CDs.
Memorex is the brand on the two slightly different kinds of CDRWs. The big stack of "freebie" CDRs I have are Hi Techs. I haven't had a problem doing any burning of any type on my laptop, even though it has XP and Roxio. But, I will keep in mind what you said! Lori [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have to agree here. I have some that didn't want to work on the desktop, but did on the laptop. However, the other day, I grabbed one by mistake, (now having put XP on) and it did burn, however, it wouldn't burn above 4x even tho my burner is a 20x for CDR disks. The sleve isn't marked, but I did get them some time back (real cheapies with rebate, but brand name) and think that it may be part of the problem. Some time back a friend had some of the double shiny disks (no writing whatsoever on the lable side) and they worked fine. He then had a sleve of Memorex and tried those. They wrote in his machine, but couldn't be read in either his wifes cd drive or mine in my old Hitachi laptop. Turns out, it couldn't even be read in his other cd drive. Since then, I have avoided the memorex brand even tho they may work now in my newer systems. Keith Thompson Yes, some CDRW drives just "don't like" certain CDR or CDRW media. However this can also be indicative of a prelude to failure for the CDRW drive. XP's native burning software doesn't work with CDRW media (if I remember correctly) and you can't delete files from the CDR they way you can with Roxio/Adaptec. You must first execute the Roxio/Adaptec software to be able to use it of course. If you don't, XP's native burning program will "take over" and have precedence over Roxio. On XP Pro, I still have the XP burning software enabled and it does not interfere with Adaptec for me. Sometimes though some may have to disable the XP software. -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
