Hi and welcome to the forum, jon31592!

 

Did you select your writer as target?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

The message in the status bar might give you a clue as to what's wrong.

[jon31592]

yes its set to write, umm......sorry but what is the status bar?

 

is it the large box to the right?

[LOCOENG]

Have you looked through our guides?

No, it's the bar at the bottom of the main window.

 

It tells you about everything the program is doing.

[jon31592]

yes i have and the only diffrence i can see is that mines not lit up

[blutach]

Have you picked a mode? Go to write mode - Ctrl-Alt-W

 

Regards

[jon31592]

[blutach]

Cut and paste the info in the right hand pane, please.

[jon31592]

Here's your problem. The disc has been tried to be written to before (unsuccessfully), I suspect (it should say "empty" and have a proper disc ID). Pop a new disc in and throw that one out.

The status bar message 'Disc Not Empty' should have given that away too.

 

('Disc ID' always shows up like that on -R media, that field is only used on the +R type)

('Disc ID' always shows up like that on -R media, that field is only used on the +R type)

Maybe we should force it to say "-R" or something? Or surpress it for -R media?
