Cannot read/write files to CDRW under XP

[Warren Bryant]

I have a Plextor CDRW drive and CDRWIN with XP Home. I tried to erase
and format the disc using CDRWIN and it claims success. When I try to
write anything to it or read it's stats, XP says it's unavailable of
full. Any reason why I cannot drag and drop or backup to a cdrw?

Thanks

Any reason why I cannot drag and drop

It needs packet writing S/W like EasyCD. To use the stuff that comes with
WinXP you have to drag and drop to a temporary folder/window it creates and
then click "write files to CD".

EasyCD is a CD player that doesn't seem to have anything to do with cd
burning or packet writing. Am I looking at the right app. you are

No I mean EasyCD from Roxio here...

Latest version here..

I have version 5 and version 6 has turned into a bit of a "do it all"
program.

The "Project Selector" that comes with version 5 allows you to choose what
type of CD you are going to create: eg

A CD format that supports drag and drop
A CD format that is like a normal data CD used to distribute S/W.
etc

Both formats have advantages and disadvantages.
