What does "lock volume" mean?

[fazza8]

I have just swapped my Pioneer 105 for a 107 atfter many troublefree hours of burning. I tried to use DVD Decryptor to burn an iso file and got this message.

I am baffled. Any help appreciated. (I want my 105 back!!!)

error messager reads :

Did this happen when linking to DVD Decrypter, from DVD Shrink to burn the ISO ?

If so it's because DVD Shrink is keeping an open handle to your burner and it wont give exclusive access to DVD Decrypter.

This has been fixed in the latest version of DVD Shrink, but a temporary workaround, if you choose not to upgrade, is to close DVD Shrink and then hit Retry.

on another board at this forum, it recommends closing your media players. that worked for me.

Basically it means a program has access to the drive.

Close Any and All pgms that may have/had access to the specfic drive and try again.
