I just bought the wife a new laptop and I'm trying shuffle some files between the new laptop and the old desktop unit she's been using. When I put a fresh R/W CD into my drive I get a "D:/ is not accessible The device is not ready" message. The drive reads regular CD's just fine but for some reason it will not recognize CD R/W discs. I've gone through Google and Microsoft's help site but have been unable to find a solution (plenty of hints, but none of them resolved my problem). I'm not using any CD creation software: I just cut and paste the files from their origin to the drive itself whenever I've needed to transfer software. If it matters, the desktop is using Windows 98 and a TEAC CD-W54E CD R/W drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated: this is turning into a real pain in the ass. |

Dunno...I've been using this burner for several years now. The package of blank CD....I'm a frackin' idiot. As I was typing the above, I checked the label for the CD's I was using to burn with. I grabbed the wrong stack. I'm trying to burn my files onto a DVD/R disc: not a CD/R disk. Stand down. I'll just go crawl into a corner and beat myself about the neck and shoulders now...
