[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] There's this thing that I don't entirely understand with the disc-writing software these days (why in my day we didn't have your fancy tray-loaders, we had to load our blanks into cartridges!) where it creates a drive image (on the desktop, in My Documents, somewhere, your results may vary) which at some later point it assumes you will tell it to actually burn to disc. This has the advantage that until you burn it, this directory will behave exactly like a hard drive (which makes sense considering that it is) in that you can add files, remove files, rename files, do all the things one expects. And then it expects you will burn it and its will be like frozen in time. But it's confusing because the user thinks they have a disc even when it's never been burned, or they expect to drag things into a program and arrange their files there and not in their OS. So that might be part of it. As to the media, I don't know why it would be an intermitent problem unless it's faulty media (or media to which stuff had previously been written). Another thing to watch is that there are commercially available "blank" media for standalone audio CD burners and (I expect) DVD burners. This media is not actually blank and usually has some lead-in control data pre-recorded to format it properly with the appliance. What you really want is blank [i]data[/i] media as that's what your computer will be expecting. None of which may help at all, but might be of general interest. [/QB][/QUOTE]
