Just got a used pc from a reliable guy and one of its good points was the
presence of a 6-4-24x CDRW- I've never used one before. So I could be missing
something very basic.

It reads data perfectly.  But when I try to write to it (using drag & drop or
"copy file to Drive E"), I get the "insert disk" message.  I've tried several
new disks (all Memorex 4x Multi Speed) with the same result.  I plan to try
another brand, but in the meantime, any advice would be very much appreciated.

Using WinME and the pc exceeds the minimum req's.  The drive seems to have
worked fine for the former owner.
