My CD drive E: suddenly lost the ability to write to DVD discs. He will write on CD disks

My CD drive E: suddenly lost the ability to write to DVD discs. It will play the music on it and will write on CD disks. When I check the properties of the E: drive with a new DVD in place, it shows the whole disc in blue and indicates space used 0 and space free 0. MS it difficulty program reports the drive is not recognized as a recordable device.

I used this drive often in the past to make backups, record music, etc. This who might I be missing or it's time for a new CD/DVD drive?

Thanks for your help.

I think you should use Nero. :-)

I never use Windows for this function. Personally, I have had success with Acronis True Image, IMGBurn, CDBurnerXP and Avi2Dvd.

But if you want to search for this, here's a start:

http://www.Google.com/search?hl=en&source=HP&q=using+Windows+XP+to+burn+DVD&AQ=0&AQI=G1G-j2&aql=&OQ=using+Windows+XP+to+burn

But I am happy to use the programs above, so I have nothing for you. :-)

Good luck.

  • I suddenly lost the ability to create a wallpaper on my desktop using a one of my digital photos.

    I use MS XP Home edition - 2002 with Service Pack 3 installed.

    My DTC is a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3 GB of RAM

    I got a wallpaper from one of my old digital photos used for more than a year.  This past weekend, I tried to change it to a more recent photo.  He accepted the change initially, but the next time I logged in my system that the new image is gone, replaced by a dark blue background.  Then I did a restore of the system back to Friday October 23 and at the beginning the old returned photo.  Yet once, I could set the new photo as my desktop wallpaper, but it disappeared when I logged on later in the evening.

    The new photo was a .bmp file, but when I changed it to a .jpeg file it still doesn't load.

    Any help in resolving this problem.  It is very curious.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.
