cd drive

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

 

I'll get someone to pop here to it.

 

Thanks. I tried the sfc / scannow and it just goes away, nothing occurs, Do I have to have the cd in place?

I do not have the win 2000 cd because I took the computer to work and the it guy installe a new hard drive and installed 2000 himself.

ANy Ideas? I have spaces between.. sfc / scannow

Thanks for your time

 

Please help with the error fault, I asked you earlier to guide me to a resolution , not sure if you got that message.. Its kinda like being tortured. please help

 

"ANy Ideas? I have spaces between.. sfc / scannow"

The proper command is sfc /scannow

There is a space following the c but no space following the /

 

something is screwed up here. my post is under your heading??? you must have replied to it but i do not read your response. only my post

 

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