<![CDATA[Error while writing to selected drive/media]]>just purchased PA2010 and am trying to burn an ISO image to a DVD using the image burner. PA2010 is installed on my laptop which has a removable DVD drive and I also have an external DVD burner (Plextor PX-755UF) attached.
PA seems to have problems detecting the drives internal or external in so far that PA does not list a drive as available if there is a blank CD/DVD inserted. The drive must be empty to be recognised.
If I start the Image Burner with empty drives I can selected a drive, select the image I want to burn, insert a blank CD/DVD and click the burn button. I immediately receive an error message: “There was an error while writing to selected drive/media. On the screen I can see the progress information box where the last entry is " Testing unit ready”
This happens regardless which drive I use. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

thanks a lot!

It adds additional method of controlling the drive - SPTD, which is selectable in Config> Misc. screen, after installation.
