make sure that the cd is blank and not dirty or scratched.you can also download a trial of nero this has a check disk tool to see if your cd can be written to.also try to play a cd and see if your player is dirty or needs to be cleaned

Right - with CD-R you would need to do whatever you want to the files (including passwords & permissions), before burning to CD.\n\nSome CD-R formats & burning utilities do support writing additional sessions (you would re-burn all the files, and it would be as if you over-wrote them, but the space would still be used from the first time).  Whether or not you can do this depends whether or not you closed the first session.

First: ensure that the media you are using is compatible with the in-car equipment.  CD+R / CD-R / CD+RW / CD-RW\nI have found it is likely to be pluses or minuses but not both\nIt may be that the bundled Dell CD burning software is configured to burn data discs, or not to finalise them.  Whilst a computer might recognise a non-finalised CDRW, it's unlikely that audio equipment would...\nI use Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator - it's not cheap (but older CD only versions might be) so I'm not able to recommend any CD burning shareware/freeware - sorry.\n\nAddition:  Contact Dell customer service - tell them you wish to make a complaint <-Keyword.  Their internal process might escalate the issue across the desk of someone who recognises an opportunity for turning potentially bad PR around...  I've heard of this kind of thing happenning - but it could be an urban myth!\n\nGood Luck!

If you are using windows XP, you can drag and drop (or copy from and to).. using windows explorer.\n\nIf not, try deepburner. It's freeware to burn CD.

DOS doesn't have a native command for that. Use a software designed for burning CDs.

It can depend on how the CD was burned.  Burned CD's are not compatible with all CD Drives.  It needs to be burned under the setting that lists most compadibility when its created.  If it was burned under this setting then the software used to burn the CD is not compatible with your hardware. It does not happen as often but it does still happen.  There may not be much that you can do.  Have the CD burned using different software or try changing out you Reader.

if u want to MODIFY a file save to your desktop do the changes and reburn to a CD-R or CD-RW  u can't change a file that is on a CD has the file is deamed READ_ONLY and is unchangeable even on a CD-RW DISK to save the wasting of a CD-RW save all the files to a folder wipe the CD_RW change the file u want or update has needed then reburn the CD_RW personly for a lot of files a DVD-RW disk in data mode is a nice thing to do has u can store 4500mb of data on a singel DVD-rw disk (needs a DVD burner and nero) i hope this helps you

you DON'T.  If indeed your drive is a DVD-ROM as you say - that ROM = Read-Only Memory - no write - you can't burn with a reader.  those programs will allow you to write to your hard drive - but you will not be able to burn them to DVD-R/+R, etc, until you replace that ROM w/ a DVD+-R/RW burner

I used to have this problem. I leave my burner unused for quite a some time. Then i have no problem. But now my burner was unuseable. Still can read but not write.

I have found this super annoying problem with burning CDs like that. I will burn some files on one computer, take it over to my laptop and it looks blank!! I use ISO Buster to look at the CD and the stuff is there. Well it seems it had to to with Nero and burning multisession disks or something and Windows wasn't reading them correctly. Are you using a different program to burn? If you use Windows media player to burn a CD, it should definitly read..if not try a different brand of disk. If not then...well newegg.com has some nice 16X Dual Layer DVD-RWs for under $40...

A CD-R cannot be formatted. It is a "write once read many" media which comes preformatted and data can only be added to it but never deleted. In order to delete/format you will require a CDRW which uses a different technology altogether. try using a CDRW and it should work fine.\n\nYou can still use your CD-Rs for backing up your data. Just don't try formatting... simply burn it using the burner software that you have.

Driver not there - it's not loaded properly - restart the computer\n\nMalfunction - yes you drive is too old to do the work - replace the drive\n\nCommunication problem - data or power cable is loose - open the case and press the 2 ends firmly together\n\nBad files - that happened when you burnt your disc - you have to be sure you have the back-up files to burn another one/or the format of your disc is not readable by your CD-ROM drive - some brands are more powerful to read more formats than the others\n\nHardware not connected??? Did you map your drive properly?\n\nYou should read this first (don't worry, it CAN be fixed easily)\n\nhttp://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/comp/cd/recogDriver-c.html\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0604/77l04/77l04.asp&guid=\n\n... and if you still have a problem just go to microsoft.com and do a search like "CD-ROM issue" "unreadable CDs"

Although it is not likely the desired solution, but if you slow down the burning process by at least one step (from 32x to 16x or from 16x to 8x etc) will eliminate this problem.\n\nMake sure you have the latest firmware and driver for your cd burner.  Also make sure you have the latest update of your burning software and keep other processes and programs to a minimum while burning.  As a last resort, try a different brand or type of media.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nMikeC

- 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.

By default all the files burnt on the CD are read-only. so there is no way that you can move those files. You can try copy-paste and this should work. If you want to get rid of the contents from the CD then copy the file to your system and reformat the disc if its CDRW, if it is CD-R then you have no option other than destroying it :)

If that CD is not Re-writable then u can't erase it,otherwise u can use NERO BURNING ROM SOFTWARE for erase thar disk.
