cd writing wizard problems

[Guest]

Hi, I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP Professional 2002 version. I'm
need to restore it, have the recovery disc for it. I've been attemping to
save all my documents & such on a CD. When I try to write the files to the
CD, it won't let me. The CD Wizard goes thru "writing to CD", etc. but then
the Wizard stops & it says there's an error in the writing process & gives me
the opition of:
1. Ejecting & trying another disc 2. Deleting the files. 3. Saving the
file to try again later. I've tried 4 brand new CD discs & it still isn't
working. I was able to save 2 files on one CD & then the same problem.
Can anyone help me please? Thanks!!

Try a cleaning disk.. Also get a decent burning app from Nero or Roxio..
All of the above can be purchased at Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, etc..
The inbuilt burning capabilities in XP are limited and problematic to say
the least, upgrade..

Hi again, Well I got the lense cleaner & tried running it. It says afer the
beep go to track 4, but how do I do that, there's no tracts on my laptop. I
opened it with Windows Media Player, was that right. I let it run for several
minutes but nothing happened. I still can't get my files to load on a disc.
What is a burning app? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Thanks

I've been having the same problem for a while now, same error msgs, only
when it started on my HP Pavilion 7917 desktop, i could copy data files, but
no music, now i can't copy anything to cd without the annoying "cannot
complete... " msg. my last resort is a clean re install of windows xp.
Anyone have any ideas, plz help, thx.
