549341 2007-05-12 22:06:00 You will need to login as administrater and change the permissions for the drive. kjaada (253)
549342 2007-05-13 08:10:00 What type of drive are you talking about? Foppy disk, hard disk, zip, cd, dvd, or flash. They are all drives and the reference to Nero suggests that it may be cd/dvd. jinja_thom (4306)

549344 2007-05-17 13:08:00 Is it possible that it is not a writeable drive, i.e. a cd and/or dvd reader only? feersumendjinn (64)

549347 2007-05-25 09:15:00 Are u trying to copy to a cd or a blank DVD.

If DVD XP doesnt support copying to DVD like it does with CD.

Or is the message appearing, with both blank CD's and DVD's?

If you have written to the CD, has it been finalised. You can only add files to a CD-R if the disk has been left open. Once it has been closed (or finalised) thats it.

This is also called Multisession. I once had a CD that I had added the same data to many times. I used ISOBUSTER to look at it and found 21 successive copies of the same data all of different dates.
