I selected a number of folders to copy to disc using sonic record now. When
I clicked on burn I got a message "Please insert an appendable data disc and
try again". I tried a couple of different discs, but both caused the same
response.
I haven't had this problem when I have burned discs before.
My OS is xp home edition. My computer is an HP Pavilion f1703.
Can someone explain why I am getting the above message even though there is
a disc in the drive?

How does this question relate to general questions about Microsoft's ".NET"
(a.k.a. "dotnet") programming platform?

Hello, Jonjo.

As Scott has pointed out, you've asked your CD burner/Windows XP question in
a discussion group for .NET programming questions. Here's a way to find a
Windows XP discussion group.

Try this.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/

In the tree on the left, open English, then open Windows. In the Windows
subcategory, find and open the Windows XP subcategory. Find a group there
for your question.

I think people see the "microsoft.public" and the "general" and ignore the bit in between.
Perhaps they think "dotnet" sounds a bit like "internet":-)
