Need help with my P2G8 Platinum - Will not burn BD

Hey guys,

I instgalled Power2Go8 Platinum and at the time I had only a DVD/CD burner. I recently installed a Blu Ray player.

When I open P2G8, I can see it allows me to allegedly burn a BD disc. But when I try to nurn a disc the P2G8 always defaults to the DVD burner. Even though it sees the Blu Ray player on the computer and can recognize it has a blank BD disc in it, it will not select the BD burner when I click on "Burn".

Although I know my DVD burner cannot record onto a BD, I stuck it in there anyway when P2G8 said place a disc in the drive. Well of course it kicked it open and said please install a writable disc.

How can I get my P2G8 Platinum program to stop defaulting to the DVD burner only, and let me select either of my burners, the DVD or the BD?

Hello Tom,

I see in the Data Disc window in screen grab p2g02.jpg you have the E drive selected, i.e. the DVD drive. This is where you select which drive you want to burn the selected files to. The Info window just supplies stats/info on the selected drive and inserted disc. Changing it does not change your previous selection.

Can you try and select the G drive in the Data Disc window and see if it works? See my screen shot for the exact location of the drop-down. Let me know if it helps.

Regards,
David

David, thank you! That is what I needed. I looked around but never noticed that area before.
