Yesterday i went to write something to a CD-RW, with some files already on, using windows but for some reason all of the writing options from the left had dissapeared. I went into the files and right clicked them and went to send to, this really slowed my computer down and took ages to open, but the CD-Writing drive wasn't there. I have not changed any settings at all but the writing features in windows have gone. Also if i go into windows and click the drive when there is a blank CD inserted it says 'G:\ is not accessible incorrect function. I can still write to cd using Nero 7 but this is slow and takes longer than windows does. Please could someone help me, any help would be appreciated.

Windows' buit in CD burning is known to be buggy and spotty at best.

I recommend not using it. If you have Nero, I by far recommend you use that instead. I use nero for all my CD burning needs, and have disabled the built-in burning.

ok thankyou, but is it possible to get these options back because when erasing the disk through nero it takes 9minutes and with windows it takes 1minute or less

Just tell nero to do a quick erase.

It's not necessary to entirely wipe the data off the disc, scince it'll just be able to burn over already-present data without any problems

the quick erase takes less than 30 seconds, and I suspect that's what windows does too.

so using the quick erase brings back all of my 700MB like through windows

yeah. the CD will appear empty, while physically it really isnt, but that doesnt matter.

Nero and windows will see the CD and use it as if it is empty.
