| 376928 | 2005-07-31 00:18:00 | Why have my two CD-RW disks suddenly stopped working? Although the backup program I use (Backup to CD-RW Made Simple) appears to work, there's nothing actually on the disk after I get the 'backup complete' message, and the PC no longer recognises this disk (ie autoplay doesn't begin on insertion). I have two writers, and the same problem happens with both of them. Both drives read OK, and both drives write to other media (eg CD-R, or DVD-R in the case of the combo drive). I've tried erasing and reformatting the disks. If I try a simple copy of one .doc file, I get a Windows error message ("Windows is having trouble writing to this drive"). What I can't understand is that they used to work perfectly and now they've suddenly stopped writing, and I can't think of anything I've done since they worked (except installing Nero, but I don't use that for either backing up or CD writing). Any light shed greatly appreciated. |

| 376929 | 2005-07-31 00:50:00 | What version of Windows are you using? If XP is SP2 installed? It might be the program you're using. Nero will do the same thing. I would give it a try |
