Can you list what speeds your drive run at?
For example: 32x/24x/16x would be read/write/re-write speeds.
This is important because if you try to use say a disc designed for 16x speed on an 8x speed writable drive, it will cause problems (on some drives, not necessarily all).
Or I could be over-thinking, and perhaps you are trying to "copy and paste" files directly to the CD as if it were a hard drive. This can be done as well, but you usually need a program like <b>Roxio Easy CD Creator</b> or <b>Nero CD Burning</b> to format the CD so that files can be "dropped" onto it.

Quote:I do know though that for a CD-RW drive you need CD-RW disksAs far as media is concerned, though, if your device is in fact a CD-RW, it should work on either CD-R or CD-RW discs.
