I see all the trouble people are having with CD burners on the forum. Is this a Dell problem or a software problem. I have a Dimension 8400, use windows XP my CD drives are: HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GRA-4120B & SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-2525. I use Sonic record now software for DLA. I can copy a music CD from one drive to another using a R CD. But when I format a RW CD it tells me one of two things. 1st if I copy one small file it says it is full 2nd) it tells me it is read only.
I went to Sonic web and they have later software (mine is 7.1 Record Now) but if they have problem software I don't want a newer version of trouble.
They last time I copyed to my CD drive was in August and it all worked fine.
Any ideas of what happened.
Thanks for any help

I have always backed my accounting program up to the C:\Microsoft CD Burning. Later it would automatically pop up and tell me I had files to write to CD. It has quit doing it and now I don't know how to get my back-up to the CD. Can anyone tell me?
I personally am not a fan of DLA. The Windows CD burning wizard, although it cannot write files directly from applications, can do multi-session (one or a few files at a time) and has none of the compatibility problems DLA is famous for.
Of course the reason you're seeing so many CD burning problems is that this is a forum for people who are having CD burning problems. That's not just a coincidence. :)
Formatting is
only necessary if you use a packet-writing program like DLA. Otherwise, it's unnecessary. I use Nero to burn CDs and DVDs, but I don't use packet-writing.
