654926 2008-04-01 08:10:00 When trying to save an image or documents as a backup using Norton Save & Restore, it doesn't work with DVD RW media. The error message is: "D:\ is a read-only location and is not a valid destination."

Despite not being recommended as a means of backup (time it takes to do so) the software is capable of creating a DVD backup or your entire PC or My Documents.
Has anyone else come across this error?

654928 2008-04-01 08:24:00 Yes, tried a DVD+R, same error message. When browsing to the drive it only appears as a CD Drive and not a DVD-RAM. Windowsboy08 (13566)
654929 2008-04-01 08:25:00 Its meant to say cd when you put a blank in. Well it does here till I burn to it

I dont think it helps if you format it before you backup to it, if this is what youre doing

Seems strange that it's only coming up with 'CD drive' all the time now but would seem to suggest why programs can't write to it...except Nero. Windowsboy08 (13566)
