I have been dragging and dropping files to my RW drive for over a year
and now all of a sudden I cant?? Now when I look at my drive
properties it shows that it is full?? (but I know there is a ton of
space on it) And I get an error message telling me that the RW CD is
read only?? The only thing I have done recently is update my
Photosuite7. I have done some poking around on microsoft and came
across something about UDF? Not sure what that is all about but said
that I would need Roxio or Nero to be able to do what I have been doing
for a year and I do have both installed on my machine. I formatted a CD
using both the quick and regular format from windows explorer using
something called InCD format. Im guessing that it may be something in
some configuration menu but Im not sure. Please help as I am going
nuts trying to figure it out. Thank you for any assistance you can
give me.
 
Hi,

InCD is the UDF software from Nero, which is why it has worked fine until
now. You aren't using the native nurning software from WinXP. It sounds like
you might have finalized the disk you were using, have you tried a fresh
one?

this has happened to me a few times. It happened when I removed the cd from
the drive and loaded another cd in that drive and put the old one back..
It's some kind of bug somewhere. I had to copy the files that were on the cd
that became read only onto my hard drive, reformat the cd and recopy the
files back to that cd...
Not a solution but at least I saved my files.
