Files No Show on CD-RW Drive D:
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Willard on 20 Apr 2010 12:06 I have an MS-Dos boot RW-CD with Dos Utilities in folders and files, which boots and works fine in drive D:.... Nero StartSmart shows D: Track 01: 0:0200 57:16.18 (504MB), Data... Why won't WinXPpro show the files and folders on drive D:, instead of just a blank white screen ????

Were the files burned using your computer? CDRW's are very picky and worthless. Most times they won't read on anything other than where they were originally burned. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

My XP Pro 'Explorer' won't show files on my Pioneer DVDR drive either. No idea why. BUT, if I browse the disc via Windows Media Player first, WMP does see them, and then after that Explorer can see them too. A weird phenomenon as yet nobody has been able to explain to me. Perhaps the trick will work for you. S
