Please help us to help you. Please quote the exact error message, verbatim. What is this D: drive? Hard drive? CD? Something else? Exactly how are you trying to copy to it? Please detail the steps you are using? Can you write to the drive some other way? Is this a new drive? If not, is it a new problem, or has it always been like this? > These are new discs. What are new disks? Do you mean you are trying to write to CDs or DVDs? > We are the only one using the computer and dont > understand why we can copy to some discs but not others.

Did you check the TYPE of blank disks you bought? If you bought the wrong type or bought a batch that happens to be defective, then you would get the results you are experiencing. No amount of 'Help' files can take the place of logical thinking.
