Burning data CD's

Richard_Roundy

OK, I must be stupid or something!!!!

I can not see my data burned to a CD using Windows explorer. In Express Burn I click on "Data CD" and then click on add files. I select files I want to burn and they show up properly on the list. I then click on "Burn Disk" in the lower right corner and the disk burns and verifys. Then when I look at the disk with windows explorer there is nothing there. I don't understand the ISO image thing and that me be my major problem. I just want the files I select to show up on the CD and be able to copy back from the CD when desired. I have friends that do not have DSL and have major problems downloading large files on dial up. They will call me for help. I download their needed large files and burn them on a CD so that they can update their computers. I am using Windows Vista now and my old NERO program is incompatible so I purchased Express Burn for its apparent simplicity.

Any help is appreciated.

What burning method are you using? Try using the alternate method to the one you are using now and see if you have any luck then. Also once you have finished burning please remove the disk from the drive and close the drive. Then after 10 seconds or so open the drive up again and put in the disk and see if it is able to recognise it then. If you are still having issues try right clicking on the drive and select properties, and see how much space is used/free on the disk.

nchto,

Thank you for the reply. I was using the default "Burn directly to internal burner" After your suggestion I changed to "Burn using Windows Media Player" and it worked great. I tried reading it in another computer and it worked great also. Thank you so much.

What is the "Burn directly to internal burner" option?
