I am trying to back up files onto a CD-R disc but every time I try to do this
I get the message to "Insert a writable disc to continue" and that there is
no disc in the drive, which is not true, of course. I have tried putting in a
different disc and same problem. I have checked all the device drives and
everything tells me that they are all working properly. I have an ASUS
CRW-5232AS burner, if that helps. Any suggestions?
 
I have a DVD drive and a separate CD burner. The DVD drive works and I can
play music CD and DVDs without a problem. Thanks.
 
Make sure program is looking at correct drive.
don't mean to insult yuo.

I've 2 drives also.
 
is this a new drive?
has it worked before?
have you changed anything?
what software are yuo using?
 
I have had the computer for more than a year and I got the drives with the
computer. I've actually only used the burner once before and remembered I had
a problem with something and got some input from someone and then it worked.
I can't remember though what the problem was. But yes, I did transfer files
to a disc and it worked. You can't insult me since I know I'm just faking my
way through solving this problem. Any suggestions you might have, feel free.
Maybe the program is looking at the wrong drive, but I wouldn't know what to
do about it. I just know that the CD wizard won't let me continue until I
insert a disc in the drive and there's already a disc in the drive. Thanks
for your help.
 
Is there a drop down tab/arrow next to drive where it says no disk installed?
Should show your burner and cdrom.
Do you know what software you are using?
 
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you mean on the window where it
tells me that, no, it's just the CD Writing Wizard page with a line that says
"Insert a writable disc to continue." Then in the brown part of the window it
says, 'There is not disc in the drive." and then under that is says, "Please
insert a writable CD into drive E:\" and then under that an explanation of
what a writable disc is. Then I have the option at the bottom of going either
back, next or to cancel. That's all. And it won't do anything when I click on
either back or next.
 
Oh, sorry, forgot to mention that I'm using Nero and/or InCD. At this point
I'm not sure how any of it works. After all this nonsense I thought maybe I
would upgrade the Nero so I did to version 7. But that didn't help either.

Click to expand...
What happens when you use Nero for the entire process?
Can't you just drag and drop using InCD?

Okay, I tried doing the entire process using Nero/InCD and it did not work. I
got the message: "Unable to read data from the specified path [E":\*.*].
System error code 21" And like I said, when checking the hardware I am
informed that the device is working properly. I guess I'm going to have to
have a technician look at my computer after all. Thanks for all your input.
