CD not blank?
Hi, I'm trying to burn this slideshow that I made for my friends birthday onto my brand new BLANK CD/DVD but for some reason when I tried to do this it said that my CD is not writable and to please insert a blank one, but it was blank! how can I fix this?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Every time I've had a message returned like that it was a corrupt disc and nothing more. I found the 'bargain bucket' stacks of loads of CD's for not much cash some years ago were bad offenders. There'd be quite a few 'duffers' in the pack...serves me right for trying to pinch the pennies! Good brands are not immune either, but no doubt have better production facilities & QC. Suppose that's why you pay more eh?? Definitely DON'T persevere with a suspect disc, sling it and try another. You might get it to write, then find out later the flippin' thing's unreadable in ANYTHING. Yep, have done that...lost a whole days photo shoot!!!

Hi there,
Your best bet is to try another disc. If you get the same result, try another recording program if you have one.
If you get the same results, then you may have a dead CD/DVD writer.
If you are using Windows as your operating system, then I wold like to suggest you do this before going any further:

Microsoft's Fixit utility can be very handy in certain situations. This can be one of them.
If you continue to have issues, please ask another question and include the operating system you are using, and the program you are using to attempt to burn the slideshow to a disc.
Good luck!
