My trusty, old Ricoh MP6200A cd burner seems to be on the fritz. It will read cds, but when I go to write one it tells me to insert a writable cd, which I've done of course. I burned a photo cd yesterday and wanted to make another today, but de natha. This one's 4 years old, but we rarely use it. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition. Anyone have any ideas? I could put it in the freezer. like I do with my dead hard drives.... :)

I bought a new one and boy is it fast! 80 megs of photos in about 1 minute. Now I'm grateful the old one died!

Thanks,
Robert
