send options

how can i put my dvd drives back on to the send option on the right click menu it used to be there but is no longer all my other storage drives are still show . thanks in advance for any help that is sent

 

Hi sohamboy and welcome,

Right click on your CD-RW drive (burner) and select "properties. "

Click on the "Recording" tab and tag the box labeled "Enable CD recording on this drive." Then click "Apply. "

That should put the drive back on your Send To menu.

 

I have just tried that but still nothing Thankyou for the welcome and your input

 

Try unchecking that box and clicking apply and then recheck it and apply again. Reboot just in case although it shouldn't be required.

If that doesn't work, uninstall the drive by right clicking it in Device manager and choosing Uninstall and then on the Device Manager Toolbar click "Action" > "Scan For Hardware Changes" and let the system detect and reinstall it.

 

have tried all that still nothing . have also found that i cannot paste anything into the drive windows as i used to do

 

Are you able to use the drive to burn disks by using some 3rd party software? Does it recognize disk data when you put a recorded CD in it? Did Device Manager say the drive was OK?

It acts as if the drive is not a burner but a mere player. Running sfc /scannow might do some good.

 

Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\SendTo (SendTo is a hidden folder) and right click>New>Shortcut to create a link to the drive.

 

yes i can play and record from drives i use nero 7 and windows media 11 although i am having drouble with w m on the recording side there is a lot of background noise going on to the disc put same files on through nero no background noise. I have to open nero and add files to list with w m i have to right click add files to player then use burn option

 

Thankyou noahdfear tried that and it worked . Thankyou Surferdude2 for all your help as well You are both brill people.

 

Happy to help.
