CDRW and DVDRW will not write files

I'm trying to write a large number of files to a CD using 1 of the 2 drives
on my system - an NEC DVD rewriter and a Mitsumi CD rewriter.

For some reason - at the very end of the process - I get an error message
saying that there is no cd in the drive, whichever drive I try using.

Each of the drives seems to read cds with no problem but I haven't clue what
has gone wrong with the writing process.

Anyone out there got any idea?

Thanks in advance.

What software do you use?

Ahead's Nero?

Roxio Easy Media Creator/CD Creator?

XP CD system?

Tried installing Roxio 6 some time ago but that just put my pc into a reboot
loop - so uninstalled that pretty quickly!

I'm using XP's built in software.
