SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 to add data to a multisession CD-R or CD-RW, you receive the following message:

Please insert a blank disk.

This message appears even if the multisession disc is in the CD recorder drive.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Windows Media Player 11 does not support multisession recording. You receive this message if the CD to which you are trying to record already contains data.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, record the data to a new CD-R or CD-RW.
