Having changed pc, was running 2000NT, now running XPPro,
I have cut data files (word, excel, paintshop pro) to
cdr.I cant read them on XP, infact xp claims the cd has
nothing on it. What do I need to do???
many thanks

Was the CD closed and finalized?

What software did you use to burn the disc.

Did you verify the contents of the CD on the machine that it was burned on?

Did you try looking at the disc with Windows Explorer?

Hi,

How were the disks created? XP's native read function has some trouble with
packet writing software on occasion, you may need to install the program
they were created with to read them.
