If the CD-RW drive stops writing
Disable standby mode in Windows before writing to a CD-RW — See
the Tell Me How help file or search for the keyword standby in the Windows
XP Help and Support Center (Help in Windows 2000). See "
Accessing Help."
Change the write speed to a slower rate — See the help files for your
CD creation software.
Close all other open programs — Closing all other open programs before
writing to the CD-RW may alleviate the problem.
If you have problems with a hard drive
Allow the computer to cool before turning it on — A hot hard drive
may prevent the operating system from starting. Try allowing the computer
to return to room temperature before turning it on.
