Right here. Windows has no native ability to write to a CD simply by
dragging files to it. You get such a facility only if you have third-party
packet-writing software, such as Ahead Software's Incd, installed.
Maurice, you say "has stopped writing files to CD." Did it ever work this
way? If it did ,you had such third-pary software installed.
If it used to work, but now doesn't, clearly something is wrong with that
software installation Tell us which product it was. You might want to try
reinstalling it.

Windows Explorer has stopped writing files to CD. When I drag a file
to the
CD drive, I get the error message "There is no disc in the drive.
Please insert a writable CD into drive E:\.", even though there is a
fresh CD in the
drive. How can I fixt this problem, please?
