    Hi
    Has your PC got a CD writer fitted?
    If so, have you ever copied anything to a CD before - such as document files or music?

  • Hello,

    As bat999, says not only do you require a cd that can "write" to CD's you also require NERO 7 or "other " suitable software to take your pictures and burn/copy them to the CD.

    Regards

    Assuming you are using XP and are just copying files to a CD you don't need Nero (although it is better than the built in XP CD burning utility).

    Have you ever burnt anything to CD before on your PC?
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die


  • Thanks for your reply - yes I have copied to cd before... tried again to download "video" clips from camcorder and it wouldnt work - just says "inaccessible" and do have write drives....

    Have installed Nero - and will check that one out x
