I also had a bad experience with Express Burn. I tried it on my XP laptop because the original burner that came with the computer was difficult to use and finally stopped working completely. Express Burn worked for a while and then did the same thing this other user just described. Almost every CD or DVD I burned had errors and ruined most of the blank media I used. I would suggest those who want a good burner download Image Burn. It not only makes good transfers of files or folders or a mix of both, or an image of an existing disk. It's also Freeware. But it works so well that I feel obligated to contribute a reasonable amount of money every year.

OOPS! Excuse me, but I just rechecked the specs on the optical drive I installed in my old laptop a few months ago and found it is a combo drive CD-RW but read only for DVDs. Thus it cannot burn a DVD no matter what I try. Duhhhhh!

I like the way Express Burn works, but I can't get it to recognized a DVD disc. Everytime I try it tells me "no disk inserted." I tried the Microsoft Fix listed on the support page, but it didn't fix the problem. Any ideas? My drive is working OK as far as playing DVDs either data or music, movies. Thanks Billcal
