75055 2002-08-30 07:21:00 I am having trouble backing up files to an Atapi CDRW drive. I can complete all operations pertaining to this drive using The Prassi Primo CD plus software that is installed on my computer. But I cannot Write to the CDRW in windows explorer. ie. I cannot create new folders or copy/paste. I am trying to use the "Backup TO CD-RW 3.0" That was supplied as a trial version on a PC World CD. When I went to troubleshooting it mentioned that In order for it to work that the CDRW drive must be set up to be written to through a drive letter. I presume that this is my problem, But cannot rectify it. Can anybody help? craigo (1686)
75056 2002-08-30 07:54:00 The CDRW would have to be compliant with the latest Mt. Rainier specs to allow you to access it directly via explorer. You would be pushed to find one on the shelf I suspect, and you would baulk at the price??

What you are finding is the way it is designed to be ?....

In my opinion anyway, will be pleased to be told I am wrong...

I think you can download it from the Nero website.
