    I can't drag and drop files to burn a CD


    I've never had an issue with this before, but when I try to drag and drop the file to the burn list nothing happens. There's no red circle or greyed out file like I've read some other articles discribing, just nothing happens. Is there a way I can create the burn list without dragging and dropping the file?

    :)

    Burning Files To cdr

    I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?

    Windows 10 is indicating I have files to be burned but will not burn them

    Hi Lynda,

    To assist you in burning photos, kindly follow these steps:

    • Open Windows Media Player. Click on "photos" at the left side. This should display all the photo files on the computer.
    • Click on the "Burn" tab at the top right to display a "burn list" panel on the right side.
    • Insert a recordable disc, such as CD-R, in the CD/DVD drive. The burn list panel will show the total and usable minutes for the disc.
    • Type over "Burn list" with the name for the disc.
    • At the top right of the burn panel, click the icon with a down arrow to display a menu of options, such as "Audio CD" (to play on a CD player, or a computer) or "Data CD" (to display on a computer like a USB drive).
    • Drag and drop photo files from the left pane to the lower section of the burn list pane. Above the files in the burn list will appear data about the remaining minutes on the CD.
    • After all files have been added to the burn list, they may be rearranged in order desired on the disc by drag and drop.
    • At the top, click "Start burn". The files will be copied to the disc. The progress will be shown above the burn list.

    We look forward to your reply.

    I can't drag and drop files to burn a CD

    Windows Media Player burn data CD

    Need to burn a data CD but when I drag files into burn list, they won't list and go back to their destination when mouse is released.
    I have watched loads of tutorials and am certain I am following the correct procedure.
    Open WMP, go to 'burn' drop down menu and select 'Data CD'. But files aren't accepted in Burn List? Must be missing something that is obvious?
