Trying to Move Files
Hi,
I recently burned two directories (simultaneously) from my hard drive to CD-R using Roxio. I wanted the two directories to appear separately on the CD-R, but one directory is a subdirectory of the other. They were originally completely separate. I seem to be able to copy the files to a new position, but not move them. Can anyone tell me how to move some files to a new directory on a CD-R Thanks |

You may be drag & drop one directory onto the other directory. If somehow one directory becomes a subdirectory of the other in the bottom compilation window, highlight the directory in the left pane of bottom compilation so that the subdirctory appears in the right pane. Then drag & drop the subdirectory from the right pane onto the root directory in the left pane. The key here is that you need to drag & drop onto the root directory for the two directories to appear as separate directories. HTH |

I will try your suggestions. Best wishes S Reading my post I made things more complex than what really is by failing to point out that the root directory is represented by the volume/disc name. Just make sure the disc/volume name is highlighted, drag&drop the directories in either the left or right compilation window. Suggest you get a CD-RW for testing. After each testing just delete it and use it again like a new blank disc. |
