My friend needs to burn photos to a cd on a regular basis. It has been working for a few months, now it is failing.
His usual process is that he selects about 25 photos, goes to Share>Burn to disc. It then opens File Explorer, shows the DVD drive with the photos in there, and then burns the disk and ejects it. (When asked, I choose to burn it "like a flash drive".)
But now it has started to fail in this process. Sometimes it just stops right after it puts the photos in File Explorer in the dvd drive window, and leaves them there, without burning. Sometimes it continues to the next step and seems to burn them, but they are not on the disk. And sometimes it completes and works correctly
I've tried it twice today. It seems to go through the burning process.
But when I eject the disk and put it back in, it is blank, although the disk name is today's date, so it apparently at least started the burn process.
And then it shows a pop up bubble, saying there are files waiting to be burned to disc. and it shows the photos waiting there, under Files Ready to be Burned to disc.
I've also tried the disk in another computer and it confirms the files are not on it, but it too shows the disk name as today's date.
Then I did it a second time, same procedure, and it worked fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
