I have done this before with pack and go. Now I can't save...it says there is
no disk.
I tried a new batch of disks with the same result. I then tried the
powerlink trial program suggested on this site. It seemed to install
successfully. Now i got a message the d and e drive are not recognized. Help?
 
Are you using Pack and Go or Package for CD?

If Package for CD, I'd recommend packaging to a folder and then burning the
contents of the folder to the CD.

Also, you might try rebooting. Sometimes that helps the computer "see" all
the various hardware and software.
 
I,m not sure I know the difference...i didn't see an option for Package for
cd. I tried windows help stating to go through "My Computer". I got to step 5
and when I insert a disk I get a box full of program choices to use. It says
do you want to designate one of these to use every time you insert a blank
cd. Things like Real player, sonic...it seemed like all music recording
programs. By then the light on the e drive goes out and I get a message there
is not a disk. I tried the d and e drive. thanks for any help.

It was created on my work computer which has 97. I e-mailed it to myself at
home which is 2002. I can not save it to cd at either location.
 
Unfortunately, the Publish to CD option is not available for those versions.

It sounds as if you're using Windows to burn the CD. That's fine, but I
can't help you with it that much, because I know very little about the CD
burning capability in Windows.

I can tell you that when you insert a blank disk, you usually see a boxfull
of program choices, but that's not really got anything to do with burning
the CD -- that's more Windows asking what you want to do with the CD.

For example, when I insert a blank CD here, I see the following options:

Open writable CD folder (using Windows Explorer)
Select media to copy to CD (using Windows Media Player)
Create a CD (using iTunes)
Take no Action

So if I wanted to burn files to CD, I would choose that first option, Open
writable CD folder (using Windows Explorer). That's basically the same as
double-clicking the CD drive in My Computer to open the temporary area where
the files are held. Then copy your files into that folder and hit the button
to write to CD.

It really irritates me that the Windows instructions / Help files don't take
this kind of thing into account. I mean, it's Windows' default setting to
prompt you with choices when you insert a blank CD, so why don't they tell
you what to do when that happens? Grrrr.

Not a clue, sorry. You'll need to ask about that on a Windows group. Here's
an alpha link to the groups.

You can't save directly to a CD unless you have special software installed.
Save to your harddrive, then use your CD burning software (or Windows' CD
burning capability) to burn the files to CD.
