I'm having a problem using the CD-RW function of the combo-drive, and I'm not sure why.  The situation seems to have arisen after using the drive to view a DVD.  I generally use CD-RW as backup media for different programs, including my QUICKEN financial stuff.   This week, the drive doesn't recognize the disk in the drive as a CD-RW, and when I looked at the files, they are marked as "read-only" which is odd, because I updated them two weeks ago using the Quicken Backup with no problems.

 

My system is an Inspiron 5150, 18 months old, with XP-SP2 and all the updates.  I use Roxio Drag-to-Disc sometimes, and Sonic Record Now sometimes, but neither will let me copy any files to my backup CD at this time.

 

I had this happen once before, and can't remember what I did to get it back to working -- must be an age thing :smileywink:

 

I'd appreciate any ideas.

 

TIA
