RAMBAM Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 EMC 10 and windows Vista Home Premium Since today, I'm getting this error message when I try to burn something: "E: Drive is in use by another user or aplication" In the lower left corner (near the CD image) says "in use by #####" wich I'm not sure but I guess it was one deleted user account from windows vista. Already unninstaled EMC. Re-instalation gives the same error. Registry is clean on every string related to old user #####. HELP! I CAN NOT BURN!

Maybe someone, who has Vista, will drop in and get your squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 PROBLEM SOLVED !!! It´s a VISTA / ROXIO problem. I created another user named ##### (the guy who was "using" the drive) Logged in Opened ROXIO and ejected the drive Exit (in roxio) Logged in as the usual user Opened Roxio and.... voilá... drive was free! Thank you all for your support. By the way-adding another drive allowed for burning in the new drive but not in the old one. That's great that you solved your problem, but what I want to know is if you created "another" user with the same name "#####", where did the original user with that nane come from ????? Frank...

gi7omy Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm not sure how the packet writing option works in Vista - but did you just pop a blank CD in or did you 'format' it first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 That shouldn't stop you blaming Roxio Everybody else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBAM Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm sorry for the delay in the replay. Just took some holidays... Already tried uninstalling the drive in device manager, but didn´t work. Any other suggestion??? please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBAM Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Uninstalled the DVD drive, rebot, reinstall, and... "in use by #####" I guess this has something to do with packet writing, because the problem is very similar to the one that occurred in EMC 9. Now the big question: drop EMC 10? wait for a roxio fix? wait for a vista fix? PS- just found that using roxio creator classic (also installed) I can burn... what is going on?

gi7omy Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Fix what? EMC 10 doesn't HAVE any packet writing - it was dropped However, Vista DOES have its own packet writing system, but that comes from MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMBAM Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Well, I just took an ISO image to burn... even with no cd in the drive there is the indication of "in use by #####" and when I want to start the burning job, a window pops up with the information "drive in use by another user or program".

RAMBAM Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I uninstalled EMC 10, dowloaded latest version from the website, installed, reboot, and... is still there: "in use by #####" I really think is something between VISTA and Roxio...

I know nothing about Vista. Unfortunately, I am going to have to learn, because I got my wife a laptop, for Christmas, and it has Vista installed, and no chance to reformat and install XP. I don't know what Vista calls Device Manager, but whatever it is, go into it, click on the + to the left of CD/DVD drives, click on your DVD drive, right click, and select uninstall, then OK. Reboot your computer, let Vista find the drive again, and see if the same problem exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 EMC 10 doesn't use Drag to Disc, which is about the only thing that would take control of a drive in that manner. However, Vista does have a built in packet writing app which functions in the same manner as D2D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
RAMBAM
EMC 10 and windows Vista Home Premium
Since today, I'm getting this error message when I try to burn something: "E: Drive is in use by another user or aplication"
In the lower left corner (near the CD image) says "in use by #####" wich I'm not sure but I guess it was one deleted user account from windows vista.
Already unninstaled EMC. Re-instalation gives the same error.
Registry is clean on every string related to old user #####.
HELP! I CAN NOT BURN!
