Please advise. I cannot save to the disk drive "d" with a blank cd in the drive.

I am trying to clear the hardrive to save on cd, but there is NO option to do so.

Like saving your work to a floppy. That works but not to a cd. Is there perhaps a path that is not installed.

EDIt portion Do I need to format a cd before I put it in the d drive? The system does not recognize the d drive// Also, The following problem occurs every 10 seconds Just like pop ups. WinMgmt.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. I contacted MS help[ and they said to go in the safe mode and remove the files in the winnt. Repository. Well, it wont allow me to remove them all, I am new at this, so believe ne, i need some quick help. Cant even work on the computer typing because of that error continually popping


Yes , windows 2000, No Burner/ Compaq Presario


Thank you in advance.

Windows version? I'm assuming Windows 2000 is that correct? CD burner make and model? Has the CD burner worked in the past?

I guess im not sure how to navigate this site Thanks for answering my post, i also edited it because I dont know all this yet.

Did you say you don't have a cd burner? You need a cd burner and software to save to cd. If you only have a reader it won't work. It's not quite the same as floppys.

OObviously, I am not an IT Tech... I purchased 700 MB cd to clear offf the hard drive for space. The cd label says recordable. Do I need to do something additional?

Also, did you read the problem with this unrelenting pop up, I cannot type a word w/ o this going spastic/ please help This is surely crazy/ as we write ia minute I have below over 15 popups saying program error, nothseems to work

I came upon this site because i was desperate for help. needing system for work etc.

After reading inquiries & reponses, I now have a Keen appreciation for the IT Person for sure..

The cd is fine, I meant the drive you put it in. Is it a burner or a reader? Sometimes it will say on the front of it CD/R or CD/RW, you need a CD/RW. If the system isnt recognising it, it's got a problem. I don't know the answer to the error you're getting but someone here will.

Tassie Devil. Yes. I see clearly Now!! Thank you for showing me the difference. I suppose these off the shelf 'puters just have a reader.

Thanks again! This is very helpful. Can you refer me to someone who can help with the posted error pop up?


Thanks
