I have burned music and data cds before but now every time that I try it always tells me to enter a writeable disc even though I have just put a blank one in. I am using CD-R disc and that is what I have always used. Anyone got a suggestion?

reseat the cable at both the mainboard and cd burner ends. Sometimes the connections get a bit oxidized and reseating renews the connections.

Person who is pro life and anti sex education.
Education is key to prevention. Prevent conception you prevent abortion. Abstinence training clearly isn't working.

Have you tried updating the drivers and firmware?
