| 500503 | 2006-11-19 21:15:00 | I get a card popping up regularly telling me of two items waiting to be burned to CD. The card shows what is on the disk and the two items waiting. When I click on Burn Now, up pops another message saying. My CD is full or it is not it's not a writeable CD. It's not a CD, it's a DVD and it's nowhere near full. It burned the files that are on the disk without arguement. Now it won't burn two more. What do I do now? Everything on the disk was "sent" there by useing the right click/send to. |

| 500504 | 2006-11-19 21:24:00 | Most probably coz XP doesnt normally work that way with a DVD writer. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 500505 | 2006-11-19 21:50:00 | See if using Windows Explorer to delete them on the DVD works. | Greg (193) | ||
| 500506 | 2006-11-19 21:52:00 | I have recently learnt that no matter what you tell a puter to do, it all comes down to operator trouble if it wont work..............if its not something the puter can do it wont....... no matter how hard you hit the key or mouse.:( And dvd burning is another new hard to admit problem......... but now with help from here i got it sorted......:p In a recent thread i did on dvd burning i found that the send to option is not always available, or usable. did you actually leave the disk open? or did you finalise it? i learnt a new word and worked out if you want to reuse the disk set it for multisession? but that is with nero, which i have just started to use, as the send to option wont work on mine cos i have two burners in my pc, a CD and a DVD burner. we live and we learn. best of luck J. beetle:rolleyes: |

| 500507 | 2006-11-19 22:14:00 | And depending on what kind of cd it is, it may let u delete the file, if its a cdr, but u wont get the space back once u delete whatever file . Altho, I dont use XP's cd burning at all . Its pretty limited . Just dont use something like INCD or directCD, if u have some kind of virtual cd program installed . It can cause probs, so I've read . Correct, multisession if its ticked in something like Nero (and if ur doing a data cd/dvd), it lets u add to it later, if u decide to add more file to it . It doesnt finalise it, unless u untick the multisession option, once u go and burn whatever is on the cd/dvd . I think the reason why Nero cant see the cd and dvd burner Beetle, is if the version of Nero came with the cd burner, it'll only work with that cd burner . Not the DVD burner, or any other burner . Until you change the serial number in Nero (that isnt an OEM serial #) . |

| 500509 | 2006-11-19 22:28:00 | Ah ok then. That'll be the prob then if both came with their own copy of Nero. They'll only work with that version of Nero. Pity tho, its a waste of space running two Neros, just to get 2 burners to work. |

What version of Nero is it?? 6 . xxx? or 7 . xxxx? No its not a Beetle prob, its widely known, it doesnt matter what burner you get, if u change the burner, but if the version of Nero (if it came with the burner) is still installed for that burner (the previous burner), the new burner wont work either . Until u change the serial # . |

| 500512 | 2006-11-19 23:02:00 | I've had OEM versions of Nero working with multiple writers. You just have to use the newest version of the two you have. When you open up Nero StartSmart, there is a drop down up in the top right that asks which recorder you are using. May be different on newer versions, but nero isn't locked down like it used to be. And, Original Poster, Windows CD Writing won't write to a DVD, so when you right click on a file and select send to... [Drive Letter for DVD Writer] you'll have to have a blank CD in there, not a DVD. |
