780830 I have had this problem for 3+ years on 5 or 6 different computers (and using maybe 5-6 different brands of CDs) - so it is not the hardware nor the media. Always on Win-XP Home edition. This happens about 50% of the time for me and it is getting frustrating and expensive: 1. I put a blank CD in the drive. 2. WinXP recgonizes the CD and pops up the explorer window (blank of course) (if I go to my computer, and right click on the CD-drive E: and look at properties, I see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-hardware/cannot-complete-the-cd-writing-wizard-cd-wont-copy/48d1f822-2eed-4074-a90d-07b6d7e650be the the disk has 0 bytes used, 702 MB free ) 3. I drag the files (say 600Mb worth) into the CD Drive (E:) window 4. I click the option (on the left side of the explorer window) that says "Write these files to CD" ... 5. It prompts me for the CD name and I click next 6. The status bar says it is writing to CD http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/780830.html ... 7. then after 10-15 mins I get the message "Cannot Complete the CD Writing Wizard" .. There was an error in the writing process, the disc may nolonger be usable" 8. When I check the disk properties - there are now 0 bytes free ... or sometimes 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free. Nothing I can do will write the the disk and I need to toss it. AGAIN - this happens on many different computers with many different brands of disks (so it cannot be a hardware problem, or bad luck with disks). The Windows CD wizard works about 50% of the time. (so therefor I am wasting half the disk and hours of time). *** this is not just with the CD wizard - I have tried 4 different CD writing programs aside from just the Winxp CD wizard (Nero, Roxio, DirectCD and a freeware one) .. again, on 6 different computers and many different brands of CDs. Half the CDs are now expensive coasters as a result. What am I doing wrong? How can I correct this. (ie I am looking for settings etc, not for someone to sell me new software). Thanks Request for Question Clarif
