Same OS (XP, SP-2 w/ auto-update). On "box" I repeatedly updated the same files on this very same CD. I'm not at that machine how so can't be sure, but I wouldn't think the files have become read-only. I'll check though.
I'll check out the packet writing issue; how do I tell if it is present and available? I'm unclear from a couple of the responses to my email. Do I need packet-writing or not, and if so why? How do I turn it on or off, or whatever? I have OEM software that came with both drives (Ulead w/ the Pioneer and Nero w/ the NEC). Neither seems to have a driver option but just the opportunity to install the OEM version of the software. Assuming it is as simple as reinstalling one or both of these programs, it is likely that if I install Ulead, for example, that it should work on both drives and packet writing will be enabled for both? I am totally unfamiliar with this concept so I apoligize if my questions don't make sense. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Button Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 1:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HARD?: "denied access" msg on R/W CD drives Also - I would suggest that, unless there is a need to use packet mode for writing to CD's, that you change over to using non- packet mode, and use DVD's RW media if you want to re-use the platters, but DVD' are far more robust, both the scratch resistance of the reflective surface, and protection of the dye media and the DVD format does not have the naming limitations of CD's JimB -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
