I am running Windows XP Pro, have got a Pioneer 104 DVD Burner which will also do CD's and CD-RW's, My problem is that when I format a CD-RW using direct CD 5.02d I can write to the disc using windows commander or explorer with no problems, once I eject the disc and either re-insert the same CD-RW or another one it says there are 0bytes to write to, if I reboot my machine and insert the disc it will write to it again with no problems until the disc is ejected and re-inserted, have checked my aspi layer which is ok at 4.60, have tried several different CD-RW all with the same effect. any one else had this

I have had this problem with direct cd. The only way I could get round it was by re installing the prog. It seems to take hold and wont let go until you force it to. I use nero now it doesnt seem to have the same problems. If you change to nero dont forget to open your disks so they can be read by any computer

Will try it, thanx M8
