help i can't burn to a cdrw, why?
 

i have no problems reading/writing to a cdr. i bought some packard bell cdrws and when i try to write to them the following message appears "writing to cd failed, illeagal request:write protected(5:0x27:0x00)". why does this happen?

r u sure that ur burner supports writing CDRW and wat program?
and wat burner and specs

the words packard bell say it all

lol
there must be a reason why it ant working though........

i'm using a samsung cdrw/dvd sm-3088. tried burning with clone cd and nero, but it just wont happen. like i said before no problems with cdr on either of these programs just with the cdrw

Ok my last reply was removed, probably because of the incomplete f word. So I will try again.

You need to use a UDF drag and drop file system with RW discs. I use Nero InCD which I use to Format my RW first. I either format (Random Access) were the computer will assume its just a huge floppy, so you aint gonna get no audio cd out of it (unless you access it from a pc). Otherwise I can format my disc incrementally allowing me disc at once recording. Try the latter guys, it should work.

sorry that i have not made any response to you that have tried to help me, but i have been away for a few weeks. i tried another type of cdrw and had no problem, thanx
