I have EMC 9 installed.  When I used drag to disc it appears to work fine with CD-RW.  When I reboot/restart my system, I am no longer able to write to the CD-RW which indicates it has 0 free space.  The file are still on the CD-RW, I just can't write additional files to the CD-RW until I reformat the CD-RW.  This only happens after a reboot.  Thanks for your help.

First. make sure your burner is updated with the latest firmware.
Do you have any other software on your system that will try to write to the drive? Sonic DLA, Nero InCD, Alcohol 120%, AnyDVD?

I used to have Nero.  I currently have musicmatch; but I had both of those with the previous version of drag to disc and it worked fine.  The burner is a Sony DRU 710A and its fireware is current.  Any help is appreciated.

The point in regard Nero wasn't in Nero itself (that will co-eixt with EMC) but the InCD component - which won't live alongside D2D - basically it's just ONE packet writing program is all.

If Musicmatch has a function similar to D2D that can interfere

I wondered about MusicMatch but now I don't think that is a problem.  My wife's laptop came with the basic Sonic stuff installed (DLA too) and with MusicMatch (don't like that at all, sorry) and it hasn't been a problem.

You must set your Eject Settings to "Leave the disc open", otherwise it closes it!

I tried changing the Eject Settings to "Leave the disc open":  same problem; when I reboot or restart the computer the CD-RW shows the file on it but also shows 0 free space and cannot be written to; effectively each time I reboot I must reformat the CD-RW then save the files to it.  This did not happen prior to installing the verion 9 (I think my prior verion was 6).

Any help is much appreciated.

Are you ejecting before reboot?

I don't know what to tell you. I have just done 15 writes to CD/DVD's this week and my discs are always open when I use those settings.

I also advise having the Eject Options show on Eject. It just serves as a reminder and a last chance to check the 'Leave open' setting.
