How can i save files that are on my pc to a blank cd? I try to drag it to the
disc drive icon but it doesn't work. I also tried to copy and paste it in but
that didn't work either. THANKS
 
If you copied and pasted to CD (E:/), you'll notice on the upper left panel
of the explorer a link to "Write to CD". Click on that and it goes.
 
i dont know how to move the files so that they go into the CD (E:/) .. thats
why i am trying to do. I tried to drag the files into it and i tried to copy
and paste but it doesnt work

Does your CD is CD RW or just CD R?.
Try to sue third-Party burning software to copy your files and folders on a
CD/DVD.
Is it been working before or this the first timer!.
HTH.

Sorry, you cannot just copy to a CD like you can to a hard drive or a USB memory
stick. There are two ways to do it and both require a program like Nero or Roxio
to do it. With either program you can copy a bulk of data to a CD or a DVD and
that is the normal way to do it.

If you only have small items to store frequently you can copy those to CD and
keep copying day after day until the CD is full. However you need a part of the
program which on Roxio is called 'Drag to Disk' and on Nero, I think is called
'InCD'. These are not compatible so if you have used to format with one, as you
need to do, then you must keep using that one for writing. If you have a CD/RW
then you can also delete with that program.

A memory stick I have has room for 2 GB of storage and if you get one of those
or even a 500Mb you can reasonably safely use one of those. That makes copying a
lot easier.

OK, I may be wasting you time, but I suggest looking at the place where the
temp files are written during the save for the burner. Perhaps just clearing
out this area would let the burn take place.

Rightclick burner icon in Explorer/Properties/Recording tab.
 
Check the 'permissions'

Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider On
the Edit menu, click Permissions . Click the registry key for the user that
is currently logged on and ensure that Read and Full Control are both set to
Allow . Click the Advanced button, ensure that the user that is currently
logged on is selected, that Full Control is listed in the Permissions
column, and that This Key and Subkeys is listed in the Apply to column.
Click to select the Replace permission entries on all child objects with
entries shown here that apply to child objects check box. Click Apply , and
then click Yes when you receive a prompt to continue. Click OK , and then
click OK again
