Burn to Disc not working

[Sly Dog]

Recently, VISTA's Burn To Disc stopped working.

Everything works normally UNTIL I actually hit the Burn button - at which
point I get the Cannot Burn Disc window and that's the end of that.

There is no way I can find to repair the embedded BurnTo Disc program.

Anyone have some ideas on how I can fix this problem without performing a
clean reinstall of VISTA?

Try a different disc, like +R, +RW, -R, -RW.
Try system restore to a restore point when the drive was still working.

What kind of CD/DVD burner do you have? Model, Version, Manufacturer.

Plextor PX-716A.

It has worked well with VISTA until recently.

Probably a corrupted file, try system restore, and if that doesn't work,
reinstall vista.

Ah! Found the solution.

I clicked into properties for my DVD RW Drive and selected C:\ drive as the
location for the temporary image file. Apparently, D:\ drive was selected
by VISTA on installation..?

I must have upset VISTA when I temporarily deleted my second partition (D:
Drive) to extend my primary partition.

Frankly, it was just my retarded luck that I happened across the tab for
setting the location of the temporary image file since I didn't find any
mention of it in the "help" file.

VISTA; the new and improved Pandora's Box! :-0
