John, I was using new disks...the same ones that I Had been using before. The Drives checked out ok (used Nero Infotool) as did the disk. Rebotted and tried again, but same prob. Can't get it to copy to the drive using windows "copy to" function. The temp files show up, but so do the errors each time I try to complete the operation.

Any and all clues as to how to remedy this is greatly appreciated. Tried uninstalling MC, and the burning feature of windows worked fine, then re-installed and got the same error message...no disk in drive, etc. (tried putting other blank media in...same result) B.
