Blank cd write problem

When I insert a blank cd, the drive seems to 'thrash' around for a while.

Then, if I try to write to the blank disc I get a message that there is no disk present. If I eject and reinsert I still get the same problem.

I have been able to write to blank cd's previously.

I am still able to write (add further data files) to cd's that I have created previously.

Any help would be most appreciated.
 
Is the disk the same as your created previously one??

CD-RW ????

Requires software that (usually) comes bundled with the drive.
With "packet writing" software, and a recorder that supports it, you can
treat a CD-R or CD-RW disc like a floppy. On a CD-R you can only write to
each part of the disc once, so deleting files doesn't gain any space. There
are other limitations as well.

With more traditional software -- necessary if you want broad
compatibility -- you usually end up writing everything to the disc all at
once. When you're doing the writing you can't interrupt the drive, and you
can't reclaim the space you've used. If you want to write your files in
smaller bunches, you lose a fair bit of space every time you stop and start
again.

Best bet read your manual that comes with your recorder and software..there
is so many different hardware's and software's for this.
