I find quite a few such occasions with the XP CD writer; most recently, this morning, it spent 40 minutes allegedly writing a batch of files onto a CD-R disk, then after the progress bar had gone all the way to the right-hand end, it presented me with the message 'an error has occurred; the disk in your CD drive may now be unusable.' And so it was. I am certain I had not overflowed the disk (there were 632 M of files transferred, and I understand the full capacity of the disk is 650 MB, if not more.) Is anyone else having similar problems with the XP CD writing Wizard? Or could this be a fault in my drive? Thanks, Steve B.	Guest (0)
