Hi, i see that my friend can drag a file in windows explorer to the cdrw drive to copy and delete files from there/

how can i do that?

I need to run NERO to do what i just said.

i find that it is much much more user friendly than running NERO.

thanks

You need to install packet writing software. Windows XP has this built in, but if you don't have XP you need Roxio's Easy CD Creator which comes with DirectCD. I don't think you can buy DirectCD by itself though.

Go to your Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

Make sure IMAPI CD-Burning service is set to Automatic

oh, didn't notice that, i always have it set to manual.

EDIT: when i try to drag files to cdrw drive, it says files cannot be moved or copy to a read-only drive.
