Writing to a CD

I'm using Visual Basic 5 Enterprise and have a HP CDRW Drive (D:\). I would like to know two things:

i. How can I have VB copy a file from the C:\ and onto a cd in the D:\. I've tried the FileCopy function but it says that access is denied. Is there another way to do this?

ii. How do I take everything on a CDRW disk and erase it from within VB?

Thanks alot,

I cant see any reason why you should have to treat it any different from, say, a floppy disk drive. Make sure your drive software is running if it has any. Make sure you are not trying to overwrite stuff on a single-write CDR. Otherwise I'm stumped.

I did a project that backs up my outlook express database everytime i insert the CD and have never had any trouble.

Very strange, I'll look into it.

Is it so easy to write a cd? hmm I'll try!
