If you have multiple mapped network drives, USB flash drives or other external drives that are removable it is possible that the those drives are attempting to share the same drive letter as the CD/DVD drive in the Bravo.

The bottom half of the screen will show you all drives connected to the computer regardless of drive letter status. Right Click on the drive and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths". Set the drive letters appropriately so that all drives have a different letter.6. No burn engine is installed. This problem could be caused by a corrupt or incompatible lower filter.
