Due to spyware infiltration, I had to delete my entire hard drive and
reinstall everything, including Windows 98. After this, as a back-up, I also
had an additional CD-RW burner installed (Lite-On CD-RW 52x32x52x SOHR-52385
v4S03, uses Nero CD software). My original CD-RW burner that is still
installed and which I'd still like to use is HP CD-Writer Plus 8100 series
(it has never malfunctioned before). I'd also like to use the new CD burner.

Neither CD-RW burner lets me copy to CD-RWs. I have tried brand-new Memorex
CD-RWs 4x 700mb 80min AND brand-new Sony CD-RWs 1x2x4x 700mb 80min.

When I try to copy a file to either burner using one of these brand-new
CD-RWs, a box pops up, saying it can't do it and to check if the disc is
either full or write-protected.

Both CD drives let me put in my old CD-RWs and I can see what's on them and
copy them to the C: drive.

I'm clueless as to how to save all my new hard work to my new CD-RWs. Thank
you very much.

Have you installed the Nero burning software? I know that their software has
a Drag-and-drop CD-RW program(I have Nero Express).

I think this might be caused by having two CDRWs in the machine. Remove the
ribbon cable from one drive at a time and see if the other drive begains
working right.

I think this could be, as I just pulled out the CD-RW Quick Installation
Guide, which says, "To minimize possible software conflicts, it is
recommended that only one CD recording software be installed onto the PC at
one time," which is frustrating as I paid a computer repair shop to repair my
spyware problem and they did the new burner install without informing me of
this recommendation.

Where do I look to find the ribbon cable - do I have to open up the
computer, or is it an outside cable?

Please describe exactly *how* you are attempting to copy the files to the CD-RW
disc....gives us the procedure you are using, step by step.

Exactly what feature of what software are you using to attempt to write to the CD-RW
discs? Do you have packet-writing software installed...in the case of Nero, that
would be InCD software.

I disagree with Ron, to the extent that there should be no problem having more than
one burner installed in the computer. The problem *may* lie with the fact that each
burner may have been installed with *different* software, but even then that would
only be a problem if two different packet-writing applications were installed.
There should be no problem if two CD mastering apps are installed.

Please look at my other reply to you in this thread.

Step by step: On my C: drive folder I want to copy over to the CD-RW, I
right click and choose COPY. Then I go to MY COMPUTER & right click on the
drive where the burner is & choose PASTE. That's when the box pops up,
saying it can't do it and to check if disc is full or write-protected. I've
tried this with each different drive where each different burner is. I've
also tried right-clicking on my C: drive folder that I want to copy over to
the CD-RW and choosing SEND TO, then choosing the drive the burner's on; the
same pop-up box appears, saying the same thing.

Software: My Nero Express install disc (version 5.5) says it contains DOS
Driver, Nero Express and InCD, & Drive Manual. I would expect the computer
repair shop that installed it would have installed everything on the install
disc; however, I can't find InCD when I look in Program Files-Ahead-Nero,
Nero Toolkit, Nero Media.

HP software: Adaptec DirectCD, Adaptec Easy CD Creator.

I don't know what the difference is between packet-writing applications & CD

Should be and what is are often two different things Glen. I had a problem
exactly like the poster described and it was two CDRWs with the same
software installed--just would not work. Pulled one out and replaced it
with a CDRom and all was well.

With the machine powered down, open the case and look at the drives. Be
sure to ground yourself to the case before touching anything. There is a
ribbon cable for transferring data and a power cable on each drive. The
drives will probably be connected on the same ribbon cable so I would unplug
the drive that is the slave.

Understood. The problem you describe sounds like two particular drives that just
did not get along. I have seen that too, but IIRC only if they are on the same
ribbon/controller.
Looking at the latest reply from the OP here, though, I think the problem may be
something other than that. Of course, that's just IMVHO.
