After using DirectCD, CD drive doesn't see UDF or ISO9660 discs
I was using DirectCD fine for one day (first time using it). Now the
CD (ejected using "leaving as is") is not being seen by the Windows file explorer nor by the command line window, even after refreshing the view with F5 in the windows file explorer. I tried this first upon login. I then ejected the disc manually and popped it back in. Same thing. I launched DirectCD. The icon shows on the system tray. Same problem, though. I pop out the CD and push it back in. Same problem. I click on DirectCD and the format utility pops up. Same problem. I'm using CD-RW. I've already done a lengthy search for auto-insert notification and tried to ensure that it was turned on via various methods on the web. For example, I turned on autorun data dicss using TweakUI under the administrator account. Following http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-018, I also used gpedit.msc to disable Computer_Configuration-Administrative_Template-System-Disable-Autoplay. Finally, I used administrator to see that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdrom\Autorun=0. I didn't change it because I don't necessarily want autorun to happen by default. Besides, http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~djf22/difference.htm says that autorun differs from AIN. In the same registry folder, I also saw HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdrom\AutoRunAlwaysDisable, which I didn't touch. It had some complicated value spanning many bytes. From googling, it looks like they are drive names. Thanks for any suggestions in getting my CD drive back again. It doesn't even recognize ISO9660 discs anymore (multisession, not written using DirectCD). Note that I used task manager to confirm that DirectCD wasn't running prior to my launching it. So I don't think it was directly interfering with my use of the CD drive. |

So I don't think it was directly interfering with my use of the CD drive. Actually, the problem described seems to happen on and off, especially if I change accounts (same PC). The irresponsiveness of the drive to the disc can often be dispelled by (1) ensuring that DirectCD is running, and (2) right clicking on the drive to bring up the context menu. I don't even have to choose an action from the menu, that very act seems to get the Windows file explorer to refresh even when F5 doesn't. |

Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Dubious Dude wrote: Looks like I spoke too soon. All the content of the UDF disc suddenly disappeared. This happened when I used DirectCD to eject the disk so as to flush the write buffers, then put it back in. In the place of my files are files autorun.inf, udfrinst.zl, and udfrchk.exe. ================================================== ========= Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) crapped (8/16/03): I use Roxio CD Creator 5 to create a windows drag & drop style data disk saving the data to a CDRW. I copy / paste files filling up all but 12MB on that CDRW. Nice I thought! I deleted the files on my C drive thinking all were safely backed up as I DID see the directory at the time of making. Now that I placed the CDRW back into the drive, it asked me if I want to install UDF Reader which is needed to read a multithread disk. Now, it took about 2 mins for the drive to read the CDRW and came up with only 2 files; UDF Reader about 435kb and an .inf file about 1kb. You have chosen the least reliable and most fragile format available for CD writing - fixed-length packets. Why are you blaming the bug on the 'format' when the udf reader install feature is not even in the UDF standard? Why did you not blame the bug on the 'format' here, Mikey? ====================== From: Mike Richter (cRoxio ****) Date: 12/3/01 Subject: autorun and udfrinst Packet formatted ... CDRW now seems to be Joliet with "autorun.inf" and "udfrinst.exe". Can't see any of the packet data that used to be there. If you see those files, your system no longer recognizes the UDF session. That could be a fault on the disc or in something you did to remove UDF recognition. If you have DCD working on the system, then the disc is faulty. If you have no UDF read capability on the system now, then you can run udfinst.exe to install a reader. ====================== Installing the reader is not OK - you already have its functionality in DCD, which you used to create the disc. You are one confused fella, Mikey. See your (12/3/01) post above. The fact that you are asked means that the disc was not recognized correctly. The first, mastered session contains the reader and should not be seen if the second session - the one written in packets - is recognized. So you immediately had notice that the data were not readable because the session was not readable. Does that explain WHY that happened, Mikey? How about explaining WHY that happened, Mikey? Whether the erasable blank is worth saving is up to you. You can do a full erase (use Superblank if needed), but if the disc is poorly matched to your drive - and you identify neither drive nor medium - then it will remain unreliable. Bet that the bug was caused by the OP not having identified the drive and the medium, isn't that right, Mikey? ================================================== ========= ------------------------------- Wow! What a slimy friggin SOB! ------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Mikey, you are the Slimiest Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |

I use erasable media only for test; they tend to be forgetful. However, written in packets they're worse than merely unreliable for some files; they are likely to cost you the whole disc. The issue is not the software but the format. ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- For Take Two to work IDEALLY , your drive must support packet writing and you must have DCD installed...to do it. -------------------------------------------- There is no separate DCD product any longer; it was integrated with ECDC when TakeTwo made that necessary. --------------------------------------------- You may back up...to a DCD-formatted erasable. --------------------------------------------- (Give you one guess who spewed the above.) ---------------------------------------- Mikey, you are the Slimiest Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |
