Ok, using standard microsoft stuff..

(Start>Compter>(:D)>{INSERT FILE HERE}> "Write these files to a CD"

I get this little message up on the burning wizard.. "No Disc Found"
Yes.. im sure theres a disc in there i've even looked!

So i tried on "Ultimate CD-DVD Burner 3.0" here's the log I get..
>>> add files/folders to CD done.
>>> burning CD - ON 1:0:0,D: SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352FT902
>>> ERROR GETTING NEXT WRITABLE ADDRESS
>>> STARTING WRITE PROCESS ON UNKNOWN AT 0X (2 KB/s)
>>> finalizing track
>>> burning completed with errors
>>> WRITER ERROR [NOT READY (MEDIUM NOT PRESENT - TRAY CLOSED)]

Hmm.. my lucky day two errors..
Take a note im not a PC geek but i will take a short following your "tech" advice.

ANY help is good and i mean.. ANY!
Nearly forgot, using a DVD+RW 4.7GB disc


Thanks EUMPUK

it seems your drive doesn't support writing to DVD's let alone DVD+RW, so of course it wont burn to the media!

if this isn't the case (i doubt it) post back with further information and we will continue from there;)

Your Samsung SM-352 is not a DVD writer. It will write to CD, but only read from DVD an according to specs, only -R type disc.
