Why can't I write my photos onto a CD?

Question

Everything seems like it's going fine, my CD Writing Wizard says "Writing CD" I can hear the CD moving in the drive. It estimates about 15 minutes to completion, but 15 minutes later it ejects my CD and says, "There was an error in the writing process. The disc you have attempted to write may no longer be usable." I've tried a bunch of CDs (all new) and nothing.

I hate computers.

Answer 2

Hmmmm.... sometimes, when the computer writes to a cd, it attempts to do so at full speed. In your cd burning program or wizard, try lowering the writing speed if ya have that option. The best and safest speeds to burn cds at is around 8X or 4X. Another thing you can try is if you have programs running in the background on your computer, (Instant Messengers, Media Players, etc.) try closing them down (When there's other programs running on your computer when you're burning a cd, memory and processing power tend to get drained causing interruptions in the cd burning process, computer's trying to do to many things). Hope this helps. Good luck :-)

Answer 3

Don't understand. If the photos are on your hard drive, why not just copy them to a CD. Better yet, copy to a flashdrive -- they work like a floppy, and have come way down in price.
