I would look after that CD you've got and really
thoroughly test it with every expert you can find. The
following experience shows why.
I bought a brand new Dell system last year with a combo
DVD/CD burner.
Whenever I put a commercially created CD (from a software
vendor) into the burner, windows comes up with the
contents on the CD. This works really well everytime.
But when I use a blank CD that's subsequently formatted
using INCD software (so it will work like a floppy disk)
and put some files onto it using another system (LG
Burner), the Windows Explorer on the Dell machine comes up
with a blank CD! Now, if I open and close the tray several
times, eventually the Dell burner reads and displays the
contents. Why would it work perfectly with a commercial CD
that comes from, say Microsoft or other vendor, but not
work properly with my own CDs?
BTW, does anyone know where I can find info on how these
burners work? Is it something to do with industry or IEEE
standards?
Thanks

over 2000 listings. Something happened with a staff
member yesterday where a revised list of 300 listings was
saved over our existing database. We had a back up
version on CD Rom. When I tried to open it I got the
error message "Disk I/O error during read". I was hoping
that there would be another copy somewhere on our
computer. Can anybody help us?!?!?!?
