Drag to Disc won't Eject.

[B R H]

I've run into this problem on/off since installing EMC 9. I don't use Drag to Disc as far as I know. I should probably remove this application, but just haven't taken the time to figure out what functionality I will lose as a result.

 

Anyway, I "burned" a label on a LightScribe disc using Label Creator & then removed that disc to burn another data CD. I inserted the CD-R & opened Creator Classic. The CD-R was not LightScribe & I meant to burn the disc on a LightScribe disc, so I tried to eject it by pressing the PC eject button. An error from Drag to Disc popped up stating the "recorder was busy" & asked me to wait.

 

I waited & tried again. There was no disc activity & I continued to get the same error message. I tried ejecting it via the button, Windows Explorer, etc. Nothing would work. I did a little searching, but couldn't find anything that directly addresses this issue.

 

I did manage to eject the disc by running a DVD player provided by HP (just started that application & pressed Eject in the UI).

 

Anybody know a solution to this (besides the obvious removing Drag to Disc)?

The best way would be to dsable D2D (if you want to keep it as an option).

 

Go to run on the start menu and type msconfig

 

Look for Drag to Disc there and clear its checkbox, save and reboot (you can also disable Roxwatch if you wish)

 

When you reboot it will say yhat you have disabled a start up item, tell it 'fine, I know I did and stop bugging me'

 

That will stop D2D from automatically running when you boot. You will still be able to manually start it

Remove Drag to Disc.

 

There have been plenty of posts on the follies of "Packet Writing", in my opinion, for what it's worth.

 

The only functionality I lost when I removed it was the ability to produce even more "coasters".
