  3. Files waiting to be written to disc

    Hi,

    The Files waiting to be written to disc error occurs when the files that you're trying to burn are accidentally placed on the driver that is used by the disc burner, or when attempting to burn a disc fails. To resolve this, we suggest
    that you delete the temporary files to be burned as these files could be conflicting the process of burning the files that you want.

    Here are the steps:

    • Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R simultaneously.
    • Type shell:cd burning, and then press Enter
      to open the Temporary Burn Folder.
    • Delete all the files in the Temporary Burn Folder folder.
    • Restart the PC.
    • Attempt to finish burning the CD.

    Note: In the event that some files in Temporary Burn folder won't delete, restart the PC, and then try the procedure again.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Hello Bruce, and welcome to Ten Forums. Accidentally used the same windows disc twice :)

    If you use OPTION ONE or step 2 in OPTION TWO, it won't be listed twice, but it won't include the sort order fix.

    If you use step 3 in OPTION TWO, it will be listed twice, but will include the sort order fix.
