Have HP Pavilion 8566C w/ Win98SE. Came with CD Writer Plus series 8100. Have never used the cd recorder but have need to save files on this computer to tranfer to a new computer (Tax data etc.) The Express Burn software is loaded and appears to work when transferring files to record but get the message no disc in recorder altho a disc has been placed in the recorder and the files won't transfer? I had a new hard drive installed several years ago, could this be a problem?
