The error means that some other program is trying to access your drive. You can ignore it as you did and proceed or try and track down the handle that is accessing your drive and kill it.
Quote:If the 'Reason' given is 'Access is denied' (or words to that effect)
Another program is currently using the drive. You need to find out what it is and shut it down!
The only way I know of finding out what else has a 'handle' open to the drive is by using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com
Load it up and click 'Find' -> 'Find Handle...'
The type 'cdrom' and click 'search'
See if it comes up with any results
If it doesnt, try searching for the drive letter of that drive - i.e. 'F:'
If it finds something, click on it in the search window. The main window should then highlight the process / 'File' entry that contains the handle to the drive. You can right click -> close the handle if you like, or just close the entire application, it's up to you.
You may also get error 'Unknown (34)' sometimes. Cancel the burn, press F5 and then attempt to write it again. It's just windows going mad, nothing to worry about wink.gif
Hey Mumzee... I posted almost exactly the same thread at ImgBurn Forum on Monday. What 7thsinger said is right on. Use process explorer,type in cdrom...something will pop up ..right click and kill process.
For me the item that was running in the background undetected was Sonic Labeler,a DVD/CD Cover/Label Burner.
Good Luck
