508590 2006-12-21 22:28:00 Does it read DVDs? Where did you read the properties of the cd? In my computer i assume jermsie (6820)
508591 2006-12-21 22:40:00 a bland dvd is coming up no free space.... yes i read the properties in ...my computer..... but windows media showed the same amount of free space and would only enter 14 songs.... hammer (1735)

508594 2006-12-22 00:44:00 And how are u copying whatever??

If you're using XP, it doesn't support burning to DVD's .

It wouldn't know what you're doing .

And what program besides My computer, are you using?

Have you got Nero or Nerovision? If u have, are you using these?

And I take it, you're not formatting these CD's/DVD's . Before u do whatever .
