Cant burn jpegs? to cd-r?

What software are you using to burn the jpg's?, just the XP explorer software?

What media are you using, some software dont like some cd media?!

Cant click and drag any files - or use the software that came with laptop - Sonic RecordNow - error message asks for an 'appendable disk' whatever that means.

Cant format the blank CDR as the software does 'not support write once media'

If i try and access though windows it says the D drive is not accessible.

The DVD drive plays movies/cd's no problem and WILL burn to blank CD- R disks using Itunes and WILL click and drag to DVD RW.

490225 2006-10-09 03:12:00 FIXED IT!

The drive is DVD RAM and apparently this cant cope with being a CD R drive at the same time as a DVD RAM drive, so under properties/recording tab - click enable CD recording - which means now cannot use as DVD RAM unless i unclick this BUT i can use a drag and drop drive!

Cheers
