hi heres my problem

when i put a blank CD in the drive and try to write something to it lets say a picture file, it will do it but then when i put the disc back in there's nothing on the disc its just gone and the computer thinks the disc is empty, when i try to write to that disc again it sez some rubbish like "you may not be able to use this disc anymore" along the lines of that

I really need this problem to be fixed so i can backup a few files to dsic

cheers

These disks are CD-R .......can youtry another make

I always use cd-rw that way I don't make costers

Are you using Windows burning software?

[dacam22]

im using that writing wizard that appears when u click "write these files to the CD" im using windows xp pro and it use to work fine before and now it doesnt

and i do use CD-R but i dont think thats the problem

Open My Computer, Right-click the drive/Properties/Recording/enable recording
Does the burner seem to complete the burning process?
Don't use CD RW for anything important. They're not reliable, in my experience.

yer m8 it burns like a normal functioning CD burner would, then i pop the disc out and put it back in and there's nothing on there, an i don't use CD-RW to expensive were i am

and also once i have done this the disc cannot be written to again, could it be a driver problem ?

thanx everyone for trying to help

Once a CD has been finalized. you can't write to it again.
If you can't see the files, it's not burning.

i know it becomes finalized but the problem is when i write files to it then pops the disc out and sez done, no problems but when i pus the disc back in it cant find anything and it sez the disc is blank, that there are no files on it even though it said it copied successfully to the disc
