Problems Copying files to CD

I can not copy files to a CD. On a troubleshooting site it said to right-click on your CD Drive and select properites. In the CD Properities window, click on the DLA tab and make sure Enable Recording on this drive is checked. Well, when I do this, the only tabs I have are: General, Autoplay, Hardware, Settings, & DirectCD5.0 Options. I don't even get a DLA tab as an option.
I have no problem burning music CD's but can not copy any files to a CD. I always get the message E:/is not accessilbe. Incorrect Funciton.
Anyone have any ideas or know what the problem may be??
Thanks!

 

Have you read the directions carefully? I seem to recall that it's necessary to pre format a cd for DLA to be able to use it.

Once you format it, it can only be accessed on a machine that has the DLA program or else you can "Close it out" and it will then be usable on any compatible drive. Then however, you can't add anything else to it. If it was a CD-RW, you would need to reformat it before you could use it again but if it was a CD-R, you could never record on it again.

Cheers.
