I just got over a very bad case of Trojan Vundo's along with a bunch of other Trojans, thanks to Cybertech

I decided to back up photos that I have on hard drive to CD's.

The Problem..When I select photos from file, then go to "file" the option of copy to CD is no longer there.

I have tried to drag the photo file to CD drive, but when I do, I get a message to put a CD in drive, But after many tries with new CD's the same thing happens.

Question, how do I get the option restored in "file" to copy to CD and how to get CD drive to recognize CD? (Drive has no problem playing CD's)

Thanks for any suggestions,

Right-click the drive in My Computer. Does it have a Recording tab and are the options set?

I’m guessing you have XP and are using the XP recorder. I think the normal route is File > Send To > (your drive).

I would suggest you try one of the free CD writing software programs. This is the first I came across but you might do a search in the “All Other Software” forum as there have been quite a few threads discussing writing freeware. http://www.cdburnerxp.se/features.php

If other software won’t get the burner to recognize a writable CD then you might have a bad burner. The most likely problem is the XP burner. My XP writer will not recognize a writable CD in my burner – I think because it is also a DVD burner and the XP writer doesn’t burn DVDs. I had a similar problem with my last computer which did have a regular CD writer not capable of DVDs. Regardless of how I had the recording tab set it would not recognize a blank CD in the burner but Nero worked fine.
