I've recently started getting the following error when I try and use Sonic Stage 2.0 to transfer files onto MDs. I get the same message whether I'm using a brand new Sony disc or one with files already on there:

"Cannot use this disc as an audio disc because it's been initialized by other than sonic stage.

Click device/media button and initialize the disc." This message appears where you would normally got you track list in the MD side of the Transfer screen.

I've tried initializing discs in sonic stage (bear in mind that this process wipes any songs already on the disc) and it just doesn't work.

I've deleted all the software, files and all registy keys I could find and tried reinstalling but I keep gettin the same problem.

This PC is not connected to the internet so I can't do an online upgrade to 2.3.

All the discs I have tried work fine in my PC at work.

Plese help, it's driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!

I have yet to use sonicstage, but can you burn a copy of SS 3.x and put it on the non-internet computer?

Know where I can download the all the install files for this?

I'm thinking that my only options are a system restore or a dual boot PC (I've got too much stuff to be bothered with reinstalling everything) and if that doesn't work I'm basically stuck with a useless piece of metal and plastic - cheers Sony!!!! Why did they have to force us to use this piece of sh*t software in the first place??????

You might have to uninstall, clean registry entries and reinstall a few times. See these threads:
