I am using Norton Systemworks 2003. I used Ghost to write a partition image to disk and split the files into 650 MB or less. My objective is to create a set of CDRs that can be used to restore the image. The files created on disk pass the Ghost Integrity Test. I wrote the first file (.gho) to a...

Any session added after the first session on 4.7GB DVD+R disks is not viewable in win explorer. Where the solution lies? Is it a cd drive compatibility? Is the operating system(winme) lacks the facility? Or the burning software. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just bought a USB 2.0/IEEE1394 external LG GSA-5163D DVD rewriter. As I have DVD burning software on my computer, I do not want to install the accompanying software, Nero Express. I plug it into my computer running Windows XP and it works fine with CD-ROM and CDR but not any DVD video, DVD+RW,...

I recently bought a computer with a DVD dual layer burner and need to understand more about it. While I've been using straight forward CD/DVD devices for years this topic has me totally confused. I believe I understand how they work from reading the...

This was easy in Win 98, not in my new XP. Choose option to burn further data files at later date, then the next burn is all that's visible. How is it done, make later additions of file groups at some time after a first burn, and be able to view/copy/execute the first batch of files? --...

Since the PCA (program callibration area) is nearest the start of the cdr disc (Next to the center), is it used as the sole method of deciding if a disc is blank? As the PCA is used the first time a disc is written and therefore there is no point checking further on into the disc's data?

In terms of the number of users Sonic RecordNow is the biggest - and quite capable. All these applications are jacks-of-all-trades, masters-of-none. If you have a particular writing need then it would be better to use an application best suited to that need. -- Graham Mayor ...

For several years I've used Easy CD Creator Deluxe 4.02 on a Win98 system. A problem has come up recently - when I try to burn an audio CD-R, it thinks the CD-R is a CD-RW, so I'm unable to make audio CD's. I've uninstalled all three Adaptec programs that came with it: Easy CD Creator, Direct CD,...

My sister ran into a problem installing the most recent update to Norton Auntie Virus 2003. Same problem might occur with other NAV versions, I do not know for sure. The most recent NAV update includes an update to the Symantec Common Client ("SCC"). Do NOT install that update. Here's what I...

If I use Ghost to image an XP partition, can I then restore the image to a different HD? Will XP's activation balk at this? Any other issues if the hard drives are not the same, as in restoring to a different PC or from a laptop to a desktop PC?

I own a Creative 8432 (in fact a 8435E which is a Samsung SW-208). I have used it successfully with CD-RW80 disks (1-4 x multispeed) and with CD-R74 disks. My CD-R74 supplies have dried. CD-R80 blanks are not recognized by Nero 5.5. I decided to upgrade the firmware to the latest level to make...
