Can you provide some additional details?

- What is D:? Hard drive? CD burner? DVD drive? USB Flash drive? A network drive?

- Can you open My computer and drag a file to the D: drive?

Explain results - can you also open the file from D: too?

Sorry :-) for the paucity of information.

D: is my CD drive. I am using a CD-RW.

Yes, I was able to drag-and-drop a Word document from my hard drive to the same CD-RW that I'm trying to use for the .med backup.

Yes, I was able to open the document.

Hmmm, I thought I had filled out My Profile; however, I will double check.

Antonio, do you have an answer to my problem yet?

In general, I try to let our other forums users answer your posts first. The point of a user to user community is allow users to communicate with each other. :-x

CD-RWs are a little touchy, especially depending on the operating system and the drivers installed.

Sometimes you need to wipe a CD-RW before you can write to it again, if the session was closed.

You may also want to write a new folder on that CD-RW and try backing up there.

For instance, instead of backing up to D:\, create a new folder called "D:\March MEM Backup"

Thanks, Antonio. I'll give that a try. And, I apologize for my impatience.

Dank,

Hope you've got your problem solved already but..

If your CD-RW disk is/was not taged as multi-session you may not be able to add to it. I use Nero for CD/DVD backups and have encountered problems adding when I didn't set the flag a multi-session.

Also, unless I give the file a unique name it just replaces the file already on the CD.

What I do is create a folder in MyDocuments and COPY (important! COPY not Move!) the files I want to back up to it. The file name, to be unique, is 'Weekly Backups YYYYMMDD' (the YYYYMMDD is 'Full year number' 'Month number' 'Day number' eg, 20060407). Then using Nero I add that file to the CD.

Thanks, Wiley; :-) I have solved the problem. I took the suggestion of copying the records to a specially created folder, and then write them to the CD. I keep the copied files on the harddrive until the next backup, thus having two backup files, just in case.
