Hardware or Software???

Hello,

I am having a problem with my DVD/CD-write drive. I am running Windows XP
Home w/sp2. My DVD/CD-rom is a Matshita UJDA760 drive.
I am using Sonic DLA version 4.83 software to format the CD-RW disks so I
can use it like you would a floppy diskette.
The problem I am having is every so often when I put my CD-RW disk back in
to save more files to it I get the message that the disk is full or unable to
access. The disk will only have about 5 MB on it so it is not full. What I do
find is the DLA software is still on my hard drive, but it is not working
with the DVD/CD-rom drive anymore and that is why I can't write to it. Now
sometimes my files are still there so I can save them and sometimes the CD is
blank and I lost my files. I am using this to backup files I use during the
day so I would like to stop loosing them.
Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware problem or a software problem? If
it is hardware my computer is under warrantee and I can get it fixed. If it
is a software problem can someone direct me to a better software program I
can use to setup my DVD/CD drive so I can keep using it like a floppy? I
tried InCD, but it did not recognize my DVD/CD drive. Any help will be deeply
appreicated.

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jim Huber

Now that's you've installed sp2, you may need to update the burning
software yer usin'. Go to the mfger's site and see if they have a
newer version.

And don't forget to upgrade the FIRMWARE for the burner also.

Good luck.


Have a nice one...

Hi Trent,

Thank you for answering my posting and for the helpful advise. I will
check to see if I can get an update from Toshiba, they made the computer.

Thanks again!
