I didnt know where else to post this, but I was hoping someone here could help me. I took pictures of a wedding about 2 months ago, and put it on my computer. My brother managed to put all the pictures on 3 separate cd's as backups, each using different programs. First was CD wizard thats built in with XP, second was Nero, other was MagicISO I believe (just drag and dropped pretty much). Since then, I got a new computer, however now when my family asked me to print some of the pictures out, guess what?! The CD drive does NOT detect the CD. I tried to experiment with my laptop aswell, did not work. When I put the CD in it (CD drive, DVD-R/+R writer drive, and my laptops dvd writer)detects it as a blank CD, yet the 'Free Space left' field shows that there should be something on the CD. (275mb left - I have alot of pictures that I took). The one I used Windows integrated shows 275. Nero shows 275. The other one shows 0 :| Any ideas?
You said the CD showed up as blank even you tried with other computers. I think there were some problems during writing to that CD. or The CD is not good quality.
Sounds like the CD was not written properly in the first place. Try going into my computer then right clicking on it and to explore, if there is anything on it then it will come up.
*sigh* nothing. I figured it may have been it, but when I saw free space at 275mb I was questioning it.
