Here's the message I get when I insert a blank disc into the CD Drive "(D:)". :cry: Any help, please? As I REALLY like this music I want to burn. Maybe the tower itself is too old... :hmmm:

If you can, try a different brand of blank CDs or try burning something to that CD from another computer. If a different computer can write to that CD then it might be that your CD burner isn't functioning properly. Also make sure that the drive is a CD burner. With a tower that old it's a possibility. I think that most CD burners will say "compact disc writer" or something similar on the front of the drive tray. (Anyone else can throw out whatever they think. It's still too early for me so that's all I can think of right now.)

If you put a different disc in, does it allow you to burn the cd? Have you done any recent updates to the program? I'm going to move this topic to the Computer and Networking help section.
