When I try to save to the CD it says that I cannot save to the D Drive and to
contact the administrator. WHat do I do? It will also say sometimes that
the cd is protected. damaged or read only even though it is a read-write cd.
 
Never save directly from Word, Excel, or Powerpoint directly to a CD (or
other removable media). Doing so will likely corrupt your file. Instead,
save the file to your hard drive, close the file, close the Office
application, and use your CD mastering software (Easy CD Creator, Nero,
Sonic, or the like) to copy the file to your CD.
 
The confusion is that with some recent machines, the 'CD mastering' software
is built in, so you can copy files to the CD using the Explorer (or indeed
other applications), without doing anything special at all. Disaster if you
do it from Word of course -- each time Word re-writes the temp file, it
creates a new copy, so the CD fills, and (as appears to have happened here)
you not only lose the Word document, but you may lose everything else on the
CD as well.

cd.
 
Not only that, but in some cases the software only creates the appearance of
allowing you to save transparently. With the version of CD Creator I have,
there are two ways to write to a CD. If I use the app explicitly, it copies
the files to the CD in a format that can be read by any machine. But if I
were to use Direct CD (which I believe allows you to just drag files to the
CD), it uses some sort of proprietary format that can be read only by other
machines that have the software. I know this only because I received a CD
from someone else who had evidently used that process, and I got a Direct CD
message when I tried to open a file.
