Question

Cannot package presentation for CD. Error: disk is not writeable. It's a 80/700 CD/RW. grrr

"package for presentation" function gives error message: CD is not writeable" The CDs are RW (Read Write) Tried the save as folder, ditto error.

Answer 1

CD/RW???
Well, go to my pc and where you find the cd, right click it and select an option that says something like erase data or erase cd, or something related. Then you can burn your packaged presentation.
If not, instead of selecting a cd, create a new folder on desktop and set it as the folder to save your packaged presentation.
Once done open that folder and select all the items, right click'em and send 'em to the cd. Just burn it and its done.
Mmhmm to do that there'a an option when packaging that says "copy to folder" or something.
Hope to be helpful

Before you can copy files to a CD-RW disc, you must format it. You can also format the CD to erase its data. Using Quick Format for this purpose only deletes the internal directory where the files are listed. You can no longer see the files, but the files are still there.

Using Direct CD
Format or erase a CD-RW:

Step1: From the Select CD drop-down list box on the DirectCD window, select the CD-Recorder.
Step 2: Click Format CD, the Format dialog box appears.
Step 3: In the Label text box, type a name to identify your CD. The CD label can be up to 11 characters. You cannot use the following characters in a label: \ / : ; * ? " < > | + = . , [ ].
Step 4: If you want to enable data compression on the CD, select the Enable Compression option.
Step 5: Select the Format Type you want to use.


Formatting a blank CD-RW:

Fast Format Fast format is a special type of formatting supported only on some CD-RW drives. You will only see this option if your drive supports it. Fast format allows you to start using the CD in 3 to 7 minutes, while the remaining formatting is done in the background. Background formatting takes up to 90 minutes to complete, depending on the speed of the CD-Recorder and the other work the computer is doing at the time.

You can safely interrupt fast formatting by ejecting the CD. The CD is still readable in other devices that reads CD-RW discs, but you cannot write data to it until formatting is complete. When you re-insert the CD into a drive that supports fast format, the formatting continues from where it left off.
Full Format Full format takes about 60 minutes for a 2x drive and about 15 minutes for an 8x drive. It verifies the integrity of the CD surface, prepares the CD for data, and writes the UDF file system to the CD.

Formatting a CD-RW that has been fully formatted before:

Quick Format Quick format takes only a few minutes. It writes the DirectCD file system to the CD, but does not verify the physical condition of the CD. Any files that were on the CD will not be accessible, but they are still on the CD.
Full Format Same as described for the Full Format option above. Any data that was on the CD will be completely erased.


Step 1: Click Start Format. CD formatting begins and a progress dialog box appears.
You can do other tasks on your computer while the CD is being formatted. The CD Ready dialog box appears when formatting is complete.
Step 2: Click OK. The CD is ready for you to write information to it.
