Hi there : Anyhelp is appreciated.

I am using a Gateway computer with XP software and am trying to copy files
from my c drive to the DVD and/or CD drives.

let me copy. I can read DVDs and have checked my r/w disc in my other
computer


When I copy to the CD drive it states It says plese insert disc. I can read
CD's and have checkde in my other computer.

Any help is appeciated

First of all XP does not include DVD burning software so what are you
using??
2nd.......is it a CD burner?? does the CD disc match the burning
capabilities of the CD burner...+r/-r/+rw/-rw ????????

I am sorry that I can not help but being a avid reader of this site I will
be interested in replies to you.
I have had similar problems and read many many posts on it. Seems that XP is
great at changing modes of drives based on last usage. IE; If I get my
DVD/cd player/burner to work burning with Nero it will not read cds.
