UNSOLVED
Cd-rw problem (can burn only to cd-rw)
Dell Dimension 2400
Samsung cd-r/rw sw 252s
Me: Computer novice
I can only burn to cd-rw's (which are getting harder to buy). When I try to record on cd-r (tried almost every brand) it gives me a error message (Sonic Record Now, itunes, etc-- ANY and ALL "places").
Any clues?
I've been trying for almost a year! I'm getting ready to buy another cd burner (external) for $90
Please explain to me like I'm a 5 yr if you have any suggestions on how to fix the problem!
thank you.

Hi Cat,
If you have your Sonic disc, then consider uninstalling / reinstalling the software. Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 13-0, article 24.
Happy New Year !!
PS: do not install Sonic`s Packet Writing program, DLA.

Hi Cat,
There are no silly questions my friend. At times we have seen some software clash a little, may create problems with the Upper & Lower Filters. Try the uninstall / reinstall of Sonic and see if it helps.
Happy New Year !!

Hi Cat,
Windows XP can burn Audio and data discs but Sonic is a dedicated burning program, like Nero, Roxio, etc....
Really hard to answer the Do you need Sonic, I do believe you need a burning program other than Windows XP.
Do not run the uninstall / reinstall of Sonic if you do not have the disc. Dell changed their marketing plan and you may have to contact them for the discs. For now, either jump over to Sonic`s web site and see if there is an update for your version of the software, if so consider applying it.
Happy New Year !!

Hi Janinencole,
What are the name/model of your optical drives? Someone can review the User Guides to see what they support.
Happy New Year !!
