Error setting in the form of CD - RW problem: Windows cannot format this type of disc. Insert another disk and try again.

Original title: problem formatting CD - RW

I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

When I put a disc in my d drive, I get the following error message:Windows cannot format this type of disc.  Insert another disk and try again.

However, I went in the d drive and clicked on delete, just to see if it would work.  It recognizes the disc as a CD - RW, and erased, and said I could now burn files to it.  I tried to copy the files to and and again got the error message.

If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be very happy!

Thank you!

Hi mariec59,

1 does happen with all disks?
2. what program you use to burn the disc?

We recommend you to check if the problem persists with another disc.
We also recommend to run the troubleshooter for CD/DVD playback and burning. To do this, try the following steps:
a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

Also, see burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  • Windows cannot repair this computer automatically (Vista) after changing the motherboard

    Thank you

    Clarification:
    Windows Vista is preinstalled on this system?
     
    If I read (and cited only) correctly - Yes, which is not going to work.  The license for Windows Vista was related to the Compaq system motherboard.  If you had that repaired under warranty, HP? Compaq could have helped you.  As you have created a new machine (motherboard especially) now, you will need to purchase a new license for Windows Vista or any other operating system of your choice.
     
    You could, I suppose, buy the OEM of Windows 8 version.  You will have the same problem later (OEM licenses is related to the first motherboard it is installed and activated with.)

  • Vista error lance when the mdb Access 2007 file is "double click": Windows cannot find this file (the file clicked)

    File mydatabase.accdb contains a startup with this VB Code form:

    When this mdb file icon is "double click", Vista throws the error message "Windows cannot find this file...". ».

    Right click on this file mdb and 'Open with' icon is selected, and then Access 2007 is selected, the file opens in Access and closes normally.

    No amount of sleep before or after that Quit has any influence on behavior.  However, copy the following code:

    The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

    Download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 package now

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
