I am trying to erase one of my old CD-RWs on my GateWay MT6730 laptop, but everytime I click the Erase button in Windows Explorer/the My Computer folder, I get a message saying "Windows is currently using the disc. Please wait before starting to burn."
I don't get this message when erasing CD-RWs on my gaming PC, so it has to be a problem with the laptop or disc.
Anyways, WTF is Windows doing with an old music mix that is so "IMPORTANT" anyways?
EDIT: The error message is because I left the burn wizard open from trying to erase it earlier. I am still having issues erasing the
stupid disk. I keep getting a message in Burn Wizard saying "There was a problem erasing this disc"
I'm pretty sure the drive just crapped out because it is not wanting to read CD-ROMs either.
Nevermind, nevermind. I just rebooted the craptop and suddenly my cd-rw drive is working again.
ARGH! I AM SO DUMB!
