SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use an MS-DOS prompt to copy or move files to a CD-R or CD-RW drive for staging, you may receive an &quot;Access denied&quot; error message.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because the MS-DOS subsystem is not coded to redirect files from the CD-R drive or the CD-RW drive to the staging area.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods to copy or move items for staging:
 * Start Windows Explorer, and then click and drag the items to the CD-R or CD-RW drive.

-or-
 * Right-click the files, point to Send To, and then click Writable CD.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use a command prompt to move the items manually to the CD staging area, which is located in the following folder:

%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\ \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The same issue occurs when you attempt to copy files to a generic CD-ROM drive.
