Finally getting back to this problem:
Re: "RW drive has two lasers; one for read and one for write"
Okay, I am able to copy pictures from the C drive to the RW drive and it actually does write those. Seems the problem is with music. It looks for Itunes.exe, which has been uninstalled. Roxio is installed and formerly worked fine, until I installed Itunes. Any suggestions? Tnx. Dixieflash
