Re: CD-RW Drive asks for blank cd when blank cd is already there

No, YOU are wrong!

It is obvious that Lisa B is putting the CD into the drive and then using
explorer to try to go to that drive. That can't be done. The drive will
always show up as having no CD inserted.

In order for Lisa B to be able to do what she wants, in the exact steps she
is doing it, she will have to install a burning software package (Nero or
Roxio) and then format a blank CD for packet writing.

After she does this she can insert the formatted "blank" CD in the drive and
browse to the drive using Explorer. The drive will now indicate that a CD is
present and that the CD has not yet been written to.
