Hi all
:)
PROBLEM: Certain CD-R's won't read on XP. The CD's were written using Adaptec Easy CD Creator under Win98SE a few years back. Some CD-R's read just fine, other's do not.
Now, when I say they do not, I mean that XP flatly refuses to even LOOK at them - all you get is some fuff about: "Cannot read selected drive"
What the hell is that supposed to mean?!??!!??!!(rhetorical! ;) )
When you first put the CD in, XP thinks it's a blank CD and asks if you would like to burn a new CD.
What the F...?!?!!!
When you RIGHT-CLICK/PROPERTIES the drive, it tells you that the filesystem is RAW and there are 0(zero) bytes in use.
BS!!!!
Now, the reason I am getting a little annoyed, is that these CD's read perfectly when you plop them into a Win98 box, so this proves there is nothing wrong with the CD at all.
:(
I could pull the files across the home network, but I'm trying to use software to catalog the CD contents, and this software will not read a network CD-drive, so that's the end of that idea!
:confused:
Has anyone else had this problem?
...i'm hunting the net now for any info on this issue...
