CD BURNING

[Ronald E. Foltz]

i was burning MP3's and things were fine...then when i put in a blank to
burn another set i got a little window mesage "F is not accessible ...
incorrect function" That happens when i try to open a writable window for
the CD...but the drive will let me open a CD that already has been written
on and i can burn to a blank CD...any thoughts?? Thanks in advance for any
help Gene (posted this earlier but it was not posted for some reason)

If you were creating an audio CD, or had ANY audio cuts on the CD,for use
in a standalone player, then the disk was closed after the first session.
That's how it works DATA CDs can be appended. For more...
