"Closing out a CD"-How?
HI group.
I have been using InCD to copy some favorites and memos to a CD-RW from my PC, to take with me to a friends PC, but it will not work! Her PC freezes up in My Computer screen. Reading here, I think that it may be(?) that I did not "close out the CD"- I don't know how you do that. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks BN |

Thanks BN sounds to me like her pc does not support udf reading - ie incd/direct cd if the os is pre-win2000 and she does not have adaptec [roxio] udf reader installed iirc, that is a free dl from their website |

Thanks for your replies.
Yes, I have been reading a lot about Nero problems here. This is the software that I received with my CD driver. Would you recommend "Roxio" or some other software rather then Nero? I would be glad to try it, I'm not at all familiar with CD "burning". But I would like to, at least, have something reliable to use for saving files and favorites and pictures on. Is there any free Roxio software around, or do I need to purchase? Thanks again BN |

BrianT wrote: 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. =============================== |

Anywhere in the house and the odor alone should have some sort of detrimental effect on your pc! Now, that's trouble without much effort at all. Just hand over your money! What could be easier??? If you want the ECDC 5.0 experience without shopping just take $100 out and burn it. Then take a sledge to the old PC. Whala, you now have a system that does everything a ECDC system does! What could be easier =================================== From: shannon22 Subject: Roxio ECDC Version 6.0 Date: 4/11/01 You got that right, one thing EZCD 5.0 can burn is your money. First the money to get EZCD then the coasters if cost you in blank cd's. I guess it is just that The Best Burning Software out today, if you like burning you money. =================================== |

We got it (for now!)
Roxio and Nero don't speak the same language! She had Roxio installed and I have Nero on my PC. I removed Roxio from her unit and installed Nero (InCD), including the 4.0 Easy read/write update from Neros site. Now her PC can read *my* CDs, BUT, she can't read the CDs that she had previously made, using Roxios software!! What a bitch! Well, thanks everyone for there help. BN |
