Recently installed Roxio 9 DE (on a Windows XP desktop) and have not been able to burn data to the CD-RW drive. When I get to the "burn" stage, the CD writer wizard informs me my disk is full--or it is not compatible with the process. I have Roxio 9 DE on my new laptop (Vista) and I have no problem burning data to disks: thats why I have gone to Roxio on my desktop.

Dud you let Vista 'prepare' the disc?

If so you have probably formatted it for Vista's built-in packet writing and it will be useless for any of the 2009 apps

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Thanks for the reply. I think Vista did prepare the disk--so now I will have Roxio Creator 9 on my desktop prepare the disk this time and see if that solves my problem.

Again, thank you very much. (By the way, the weather in Southern AZ is quite nice now--how are things in Ireland?)

Nooo - don't do anything with the disc - just put it in and that's it it doesn't need to be formatted, prepared or anything else

Weather here - hey, this is Ireland and that translates to cold and wet (it's ALWAYS cold and wet - why do you think the place is so flamin' GREEN???)
