Can't write to cd

[Cranky]

I own a Sony Vaio WinXP Home version 2002. I have used the
help guide to try and figure out why I suddenly cannot
back up files on cd's. I can copy the files to drive F..
the wizard starts.. then keeps telling me to insert a
writeable cd. (the dern thing is in there!) It's a new
stack of Maxell CD-R Pro 700 MB. I've been using them up
until the "problem" started.

I have just recently reformatted my computer (the problem
started before reformatting) and installed a new modem...
the old one died. ( I think I killed it.) Modem Blaster V92

I have service pack 2 (it's NOT the problem.. in fact it
improved my computers performance since I installed it
yesterday)


Pentium 4 1500 MHz
1.49GHz
256MB of RAM

DVD/CD Rom drives
HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE 8160B
Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-117R

MAXTOR 4D060H3

Did I give you too much or too little info?

If indeed you do not have the CD rom driver disk then I
suggest getting the model and the drivers from the
manufacturer, also you may want to reinstall the software
you use for burning Nero Ahead for example has a patch
because there were compatbility issues with SP2.

Try removing the Cd writer's entry in the Device Manager
and then reboot to allow XP to reinstall the drive's
software.

If necessary, see this page on the Device Manager:
