can anyone help!!

i am trying to save important files to a re-writable disc, the disc already
has files on it that i have put there from my "sonic" programe, however when
i insert the disc and try to save any new files the disc is ejected from the
drive and a message comes up on the screen saying that the disc is not a
blank one, there is ample space available on the disc, can anyone help.
 
thanks harry for your reply will pay the sites a visit and perhaps things
will be a lot clearer.
thanks again mate.

These sites were probably extremely useful at one time. Now, even a
beginner like me can see that much of their information is more than
five years old and, therefore, obsolete in computer terms. But a
beginner like me does not know enough to distinguish exactly which
information is no longer usable and possibly even dangerous. So, in an
excess of caution, a beginner like me steers clear of the whole of the
writings.

You would be incorrect in assuming that 5 year old information is obsolete
in this case.
Consider that Windows XP *is* 5+ years old. While some of the links below
have information in them that is 5+ years old - it is still valid if you are
utilizing Windows XP - and most of the links given have been updated here
and there as needed.

Example:

So - in this case - old information does not necessarily equate to obsolete.
When you choose to utilize 5+ year old technology (Windows XP), you can
expect some of the information others would consider obsolete to be quite
current for your needs. ;-)
