Problems backing up data to CDRW

[Peter]

Brand new CDRW's, never had this problem in the past. I format them using
InCD4.4 to MRW so that I can backup my Docs and Files. The backup will
proceed OK for a time then all of a sudden I get a pop-up "InCD is making
this disk read only to protect the data...something about defective disk
etc." That puts the kibosh on me backing up anything more. Tried
several new disks...same reaction.
Any theories as to what would cause this repeatedly?

Peter, are you using the same Brand CD-RW Disks that you used previously?

 

[Peter]

Yes. It happens intermittently too. One day it'll work and another not.
For instance, yesterdau I backed up all my documents/desktop/settings OK.
Today I decided to add one more small item and it went "tilt" again and made
the disk read only.

 

[Rich Barry]

How old is the the drive?

 

[Peter]

Just over a year. It's an LG. Works very fast usually. I'm just wondering
if a I got a bad batch of CDRW's. Of course CDR's are so cheap these days I
really shouldn't worry so much about how I save my backups.
Sorry for the delay, I've been out for the last 24 hours.

Have you tried updating the driver(s) for the CD-RW Drive?

 

[Peter]

I haven't found any updates since I got this machine. I'll check that out
again.

I found a driver update. Tried the burning...worked fine. Hopefully it's
fixed, thanks.
