- Have you checked if you need a firmware update?\n- Bad quality media? Did it happen with more than one type? Did it happen with quality discs such as Verbatim?\n- Are you trying to use a burning speed that is not compatible with the writer?\n\nIf you have checked all this to no avail, maybe the write/read unit (the laser) of your writer is going loco, and it may need repair. Suggest that you send a Nero logfile to your PC´s or drive´s support, they should be able to tell you what´s wrong with it.

First thing to do is to Format/erase the CD-RW disk before using. That is the only think I can thnk of. Try using a CD-R first and see if THAT will let you change the name also.

Try using other free cables for the CD-RW\nboth IDE, and Power cables\n\nor maybe it is something wrong with the master/slave setting\n\ndunno u didn't give much detail

If you use a CD-R, put files on it,it becomes read only and the files can not be changed. \n\nHowever, if you use a CD-RW (and have a CD-RW drive), you can format the CD-RW as if it is a gigantic floppy disk, and write files to it, delete them, re-write, etc. \n\nYou will need software for formating the CD-RW, but that should be included as part of the burning software program that came with your CD burner.  Check the Helps in the program.

You could have a damaged CD. also another thing to check is your RAM. if your RAM is failing it will cause all kinds of errors. Check you CD if its ok download Memtest86 and run it. it will test your memory and if it finds any errors that could be the problem.

most likely your cd is bad, give it a good cleaning the try again, then buy a new cd

check the ribbon cable on both sides of the cd rom..the back and the board...the cable is probably loose

this could be a number of problems.  try the following:\n\nCD drive is jammed by another CD:\n1.  get a paperclip and bend it so one end is straight.\n2.  look for a very small opening (about the size of the paperclip).  this will be very very small and have no other use or markings.  it should be located on the front of the drive.\n3.  this hole is the manual release for the hard drive door (if your drive has one... most do).  insert the paper clip into the hole to manually open the door.\n4.  if no CD is in the drive, use a flashlight to look inside and try to see if there is anything out of the ordinary... loose springs or pieces that are in the way of the door's movements.\n\nyour CD drive is not getting power:\n1.  turn the computer off but leave it plugged in.\n2.  open your computer case (refer to your manual for specific instructions)\n3.  look at the back of the CD drive (which will be located in at the top of the front side of the computer).\n4.  inspect the back of the drive, there should be a cord leading to it with 4 multicolores wires.  if there is no such wire than find one dangling and insert it into the proper slot on the back of the drive.  if there is a cord push on it to make sure it is in tightly.\n\nyou are trying to open the door to the drive via windows and the driver's are corrupt:\n1.  consult your manufacturer's web site for driver installation files.\n2.  re-install the drivers

The easiest is to start by just sticking the disc in the cd rom.  Windows will automatically bring up options for the programs you have installed in your computer to burn to that disc.  Use that program that you choose to do the job.  If you make a mistake and chose the wrong program, eject it and push it back in and it will give you the options again. \n\nRemember, if it is CD-RW you can record or write to that disc over and over, if it is CD-R you can write to that disc once.  If you mess up the recording you have to trash the CD-R.  With the CD-RW you can try again.

You can try 3 things.\n\n1) get a repair kit\n\n2) try re-burning the cd in the computer\n\n3) http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/\n\nEAC can repair many errors and give you a wave file which you can then burn to another cd\n\n4) buy a new one used on Amazon

You can't. Unless its CDRW, then you can erase it with just about any CD program.

Just use a cd-rw.  That's it.  good fun :-)

you may have burned it to a cr-rw instead of a cd-r or you may have copied the files directly to a cd instead of using windows media player or itunes to burn a music cd

chances are you are trying to "burn" a copyright protected file....or something is corrupted....check writer hardware and cables, copy software

try using a different “working” CD/DVD to make sure that the problem is not with your CD/DVD

Use CD-R disks if you want to keep something permanently and CD-RW disks if you want to be able to put more stuff on it or erase something you put on it.\n\nWith the RW disks, I would not try to rewrite to them more than a couple of times because you might lose some of the sound integrity with multiple erasures.
