DirectCD 5 & WinXP

Folks

I have just upgraded to Win XP Pro, and my system's telling me that the
driver for DirectCD is no good. I have been to Roxio site to look for an
update, but can't find it.. can someone point me in the right direction?

P.S. I downloaded the Easy CD Creator 5.3.5 updater, but it tell me that I
have no qualifeid product installed.

DirectCD came with my verison of WinOnCD.

Lucky that your system did not blow up:

The UDF support built into XP is violently incompatible

using any version of DCD prior to 5.1 on XP
is asking for serious trouble.

Try CeQuadrat for updates.

You shouldn't be messing with DirectCD. Why? DirectCD is rejected even
by none other than a cRoxio Shill:

I have used only DCD for packet writing,
have had no problems due to the software -
but too many due to the format itself

to bother with it any longer.

=====================
From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shill)
Date: 6/17/02

uninstalled DCD
when I stopped testing for Roxio
=====================

The above Mikey's statement is the first ever case in which a Shill is
rejecting the very product IT is shilling for.

With a Shill like this, cRoxio doesn't need any critics!

Maybe try DirectCD 6 (aka Drag-to-Disc)?

Hi this is strange, anyone else get this? or can explain it When I
re-format a CDRW with Drag to Disk Full Format {EasyCD 6}, the space
available after format drops by between 150 and 200 Mgs and I cannot
get it back. A full format on a new CDRW is OK. I have a LG
52x24x52x and use TDK or Packard Bell 10X CDRW. This never happened
with EasyCD 5.

The space you are losing is due to sectors found to be unreliable.
It's a good sign that the disc is developing errors and is ready for
the trash. You'll also find that formatting gets slower; it takes time
to retry verification and to mark the bad sectors.

If you insist on using fixed-length packets, you ask for that as well
as losing data.

Mmm, but if I format a brand new CDRW I get the full monty then if I
immediately re-format, quick or full, I loose 150Mg. Surly CDRW's don't
develop errors after 5 minutes?

Also from your statement "If you insist on using fixed-length packets,
you ask for that as well as losing data" are you suggesting that the
Drag and Drop part of Easy CD is unreliable and should not be used ?

If so why does Easy Cd 6 have this software and say how easy it is to
use. Now I am very puzzled.
