Edit: If the problem is not due to trying to use formatted disks, it could be that Direct CD is running in the background. Try opening Task Manager, and if Direct CD is running, terminate it before attempting to burn with Easy CD.
Direct CD is Roxio's "UDF" formatting program so you can use "drag and drop" from the Windows explorer to copy files to a CD.
Apparently Direct CD is configured to automatically launch when you insert a blank CD. I don't have the older Direct CD installed anymore so I can't say exactly how to configure it, if it even needs configuration. When you load a blank CD in the drive, check to see if Direct CD comes up, if it does, exit direct cd before proceeding with the Data CD project. Another option, do not load the blank CD until after you have launched the Data CD buring program, that may lock out Direct CD.

Hi:
The following link is to Predator's CD/RW website, and may be of some assistance with that message:
