In WMP 11 when i try to burn CD's i get an error message saying : Please Insert a Blank disk into the drive.... i have a blank cd int he drive and have tried it on my other xp machine and it works fine ..... any ideas ( burning works fine in WMP 10)

CD-R or CD+R?

Sometimes there are compatibility issues. Also, do you have any files on the CD you want to burn to?

Cd-R
no files its just some music , like 72Mins ..... CD's are 80Min

^^Music is a type of file. I meant are there actually any files already on the CD. Whether it be music, movies or anything else. Also, try using a bettr program then MP. Try Nero Start Smart.

BP

If there are files already on the CD then you have to do a Mulitisesion on the CD. Also what burning software are you using. Like blueparukia said use Nero Start Smart or Nero Burning Rom.

no nothing on the cd

i want to use WMP i have all my music in there

Is it just me, or does it say "I have a blank cd"

Just thinking since ya'll are asking about files on the CD.
Now, why not just get another burning program and not having to hassle with errors?

Im sorry BP i mis understood you

I though you where askign what i was going to PUT on the CD

sorry!

But your music would be saved in My Music or some other folder.

You can access that with pretty much any burning program

Ay, it saves to whatever folder you choose it to save it in.
ie.
c:\>My Music files
j:\>Music\Mp3s\Sorted\Albums\A-D\Bon Jovi\Bon Jovi - One wild night.mp3
wether them be downloaded or "ripped" off of a CD they end up where you put them

Still, as BP said, they can be reached and burned with any (good and working) burning program.


Argh! was the same as BP wrote, but i had to much writing in me

ok , well thanks for the help guys , ..... still want to know why WMP does that

Not sure, but i had a friend who got ahold of an illegal version of WinXP (which ofcourse, he didn't know at the time) and when he updated it using windows update, he got a "new and improved" version of WMP which in turn went haywire on him for having an illegal windows copy and it stopped working... among other, he couldn't use it to burn music anymore...

I know my copy is legal , when i downloaded WMP 11 i had to verify it was authentic and the test came back that it was

Its a problem with the Disc, CD+R won't burn on mine either.

And, I know this sounds stupid, but is your drive an CD Burner?
