Powerpoint does not recognise my CD-RW, help please

[Guest]

I wish to Package for CD a presentation to autorun on another computer, but
when I click [copy to CD] a message comes up [no recording device was found],
yet it is there and works perfectly.

First some questions and then the work around:

Do you have one or more than one CD or DVD drive installed on your system? What
drive letter(s) are assigned to them and which one is the burner? For example,
I have drive E: which is a DVD/CD burner and I have drive F: which is a CD
burner. Windows will always write to drive E: when I use Package for CD. By
the way, PowerPoint doesn't do the writing to CD. It hands it off to Windows
for that task.

Work around:
Use Package to Folder and then use your CD burning software to burn the
*CONTENTS* of the folder to a CD.
