Hello.
I am trying to use an external CD RW drive (using the "Shuttle connector"). Reading CDs are fine.

However, when I try to use "Easy CD Creator" to create a Data CD, I get the error message "CD is write protected".

The cd rewriter is Samsung sw-208b, connected externally to the computer via a "Traxdata box".

When trying to create CDs, the CD will eject at the last moment with the error message "The current CD is write-protected".

(The CDs copy perfectly using someone else's rewriter)

Reading CDs is fine. Also, when I connect a printer to the "Traxdata box"- that works fine!

Can anyone help?

Try to copy the cd to your hard drive if you have the space. Make sure all the hidden files are copied as well. Write from your hard drive folder. It will take longer but you will get your cd writen.
Please make sure you are not copying lisenced cd's - Lot of problems)

If you do not have the space, try Nero. Write with copy on the fly. Or you can create an image file in nero.
