169662 2003-08-22 19:04:00 I have a CD-RW as a E Drive(D Drive is a DVD). The CD-rw is reading cd but when I go to back up data it say; "E Drive not Accessible
The Drive is not Ready"

I have tried deleting the drive and then reinstalling it but have had no luck or I am doing something wrong.
Can anyone Help??

Thanks Paul

Also, check that the driver is a CD-RW one and not a CD-Rom one.
I find CD writers seem to fail as writers quite quickly, have bought about five now.

169665 2003-08-23 04:49:00 The operating system I am using is Windows 98 (Not SE) and the program I am trying to back up is Quick books, I have also tried other programs and they are not backing up. The CD-Rw is a Sony. pskiwi (2823)
