Re: Error "There is No Disc in Drive" when writing text files to C

When I have the (E) CD-RW window open I copy a file into the CD-RW (E) I then
click on write these files to CD. The Write CD wizard appears and says
"there is no disc in the drive", "insert a disc into the drive" In the past
this has always worked and when clicking on the properties tab it showed
there was free disc space. The recording tab is enabled. --
