I have a CDROM with RW capabilities, but it doesn't seem to want to do the writing part. It came as part of my laptop. I thought I'd writen to disc before now, but maybe I haven't yet. When I troubleshoot to device, my computer says it is running as it should. Is the problem a lack of a disc burning program? Wouldn't the laptop have come with such a program?
Hmmm... what about if I click this.... hang on......
.....this seems to be working......
Ok, so I an write to disc via a burning program.
Why, when I just ran a backup to an external data storage it said it couldn't write to disc? Before I started to backup to the storage device, it said I'd need to ALSO have a disc ready to write to. I popped a blank disc in (the one I just used to backup my photos). But, when it came time to write to it, it failed.
Make any sense?
Some backup-to-disk programs require a brand new, previously unwritten disk; even an erased and formatted RW disk won't fool 'em.
Thanks for stopping by, Timber. This one was unused on the first try.
Do you have problems burning anything else on that drive? Besides backups, I mean ... could be a glitch in your backup program if regular burning works OK.
Maybe it is just that, Timber. I can burn video, digital images, data files..... but not the disc it wants to burn when I do a back up. My b-in-l knows the backup program. I'll ask him when I see him. Thanks......
