The Roxio User Forum is a better venue for your issue, since it's not a
Windows XP problem.

However, and FWIW, no one should be impressed with DLA (aka packet
writing), as it's an unreliable method for recording on optical media.
Convenient, possibly, but something of a crapshoot.

This topic has been rather well discussed over the years, so I think
you'll find plenty of details in the Roxio knowledge base and user forums,
to say nothing of the internet.

It seems that every time I want to drag something to my CD-RW, I get an
error message telling me that it cant read the source. Of course that is
a bogus error (since that is my HD). Anyway, it seems that I can copy
drag only 1-item, then after that the error appears. So I end up coping
the entire CD to my HD, reformatting the CD then copying everything back
to my CD (with the updated info).

It really sucks. I keep CD-RW with the DLA format available so I can
continuously update small apps and utilities to the CD.

Any idea what the issues are. Is this a worthless task to expect to drag
updated files to a CD using the DLA format.

Thanks (let me know if there is a better ng).
