I was trying to write files to a CD-RW, and use the disc as live file/ use disc as usb drive. I let it format and it gets basically all the way done and then the "windows was unable to complete the format" message popped up, and left my CD-RW essentially bunk. I was able to completely erase the formatting on the CD, and just save as a cd/dvd, but my boss nees the discs to be live file. please help!
