I am using Roxio CD creator 6 on a new IBM machine to DragtoDisk to CD-RW.  
I have DLA and disk writing disabled for the drive.  However when I shut down
the machine I get a message stating some thing is preparing the disk(?),
which also interfers with the shut down.  When I restart a message appears
stating that the disk is now readable using DLA but cannot be edited.  Sure
enough, it marked as read only and becomes totally unusable.

Thanks,

Add/Remove Programs. Locate Sonic DLA and remove…

Or, take the disc out (using the eject command) before shutting down.

Actually, if this is for "backup", all anyPacket-Writing program is good for is permantly losing all the data on it.

A better idea for long-term backup is to use Classic Crator; for short term, use a Flash drive (aka Pen/Thumb/Keychain/Jump drive) - and be sure to use the eject command, and take it out when shutting down.
