I update a Quickbooks file that is transferred via backup/restore on CD
Here is the problem:
About once a week I update a Quickbooks file that is transferred via backup/restore on CD. The other computer is running win me! I used to run win me but recently got a new computer with win xp pro. I had both ME machines loaded with Easy CD Creator & DirectCD. I did everything with it, record from tapes & burn CDAs or MP3s, close the session or leave it open, MOVE FILES TO CD-RW DISKS LIKE IT WAS A FLOPPY!! It worked great with zero problems! When I put a file on a CD-RW with WinXP it is doing something before it will eject the disk, maybe finalizing, I don't know what its doing. When I take the disk to the WinME computer I can read it BUT here is when the trouble starts, I CAN NOT WRITE TO THE DISK ANYMORE!!!!!!! IT SAYS THE DISK IS EITHER FULL OR I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS!! THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT A TRUE READ/WRITE DISK IS TO FORMAT THE DAMN THING AGAIN!!! I don't want to find out how to use WinXP BURN! Or how it works! Or how great it is! I want to know how to stop WINXP from blowing the codes off a FORMATTED CD-RW so it does not work in other computers that have a UDF reader and are able to treat it as a large floppy! Does anyone know how to solve the problem????? Thanks |

I'm told the method is to right-click the drive in My Computer, then Properties, Recording and clear Enable CD recording on this drive. (That will not bother other software, just affect XP's little toy.) Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

Do you have Direct CD on the XP machine? XP's disc writing system produces
ISO format discs not the UDF packet formats produced by Direct CD. You will need to use the same software to have them behave in the same manner. -- Graham Mayor Jim wrote: Here is the problem: About once a week I update a Quickbooks file that is transferred via backup/restore on CD.

Wonder whatever happened to the Mikey's "the most fragile and least reliable format" cockamamie ???!!! ================================================== ====== From: smh Subject: access denied after moving files to a cd-rw Date: 2/26/02 Teresa Butts wrote: I formatted a cd-rw. I started moving mp3 files to the disk. After formatting cd I had only 511mb to work with. I assume this is normal. I then started moving files from explorer to the disk. At first things where going fine and then I received an error message that access was denied, that the disk was full or the disk was write protected. First I know that the disk was not full. Can anyone help me with this problem? Yours is not an isolated case. Something smells bad with DirectCD. (Can't help but wondering why the whole DirectCD development team got fired.) ======================= From: "Bob Brunson" Subject: access denied to cd-rw Date: 10/18/01 I have just formatted a cd-rw with Direct CD, then tried to copy some data files over to it using Windows Explorer in WinME. It won't do it, giving me an access denied error and that the disk may be write protected. I then tried to create a folder on the cd-rw to see if that would help, but get the same error. How does one un-write protect a cd-rw? This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to find any answers anywhere on the net. ======================= From: (TerryAna2) Subject: DirectCD and Teac CD-W516EB - [16x10x40] Date: 10/23/01 I bought some TDK 4x-10x CDRWs last night. Formatted one using DirectCD (Easy CD Creator v5.01) and all looked good. Then I ejected and reinserted the CDRW disc into the burner and it says "Unrecognized data format" or something to that effect in DirectCD (and the disc is unaccessible in Windows Explorer). I erased the disc and formatted it again and the same problem. Any ideas? ======================= From: john63401 Subject: What is up with MY DirectCD disks?!! Date: 11/27/01 I bought some Fuji brand CDRW disks. I format them under DirectCD..... and was wanting to use then to transport stuff between home and work.... reading and writing to them via the Win 2000 Explorer. Anyway.....after formatting them using DCD.... I can write to them..... but for some reason later after that.... I can NOT write or even erase what is on them!! I get a message from Windows that says the disks are read only!!! And no matter what I do.... I cant change the read only status. What gives??? Am I missing something? Or is this a bug in DCD somehow. ======================= From: (arthur) Subject: problem in accessing CD RW Date: 2/8/02 I am trying to use a CD Re writable disk. TDK 700 MB. I am using Adaptec DIRECT CD. Uptill now Ihave formated 4 times but I still cannot use the disk. Every time I am trying to copy some file using Windows Explorer it is giving message "Access Denied. The disk is write protected'. Why is it so and how to prevent it. ======================= From: (Gary C. New) Subject: DirectCD "Access is denied" Issue Date: 2/16/02 Here's a strange one for you: I've successfully used DirectCD and Easy CD Creator with CD-RWs in the past with the system in question. Recently, I purchased a new box of CD-RWs (Memorex 8x-10x) and cannot seem to be able to get them to work with DirectCD but they work fine with Easy CD Creator. I can even format the new CDs with DirectCD without error. The problem arises when I try and copy my files to the formated DirectCD disk. It gives me the error message: "Cannot create or replace ... Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." The disk is not full (648MB Free) and the MyDocuments folder is not in use. However, I'm not sure how to check and see if the disk is write-protected. I've tried Roxio's site support and reinstalling DirectCD and Easy CD Creator and neither were successful. ======================= ================================================== ====== |
