I have been using Copy, in Windows Explorer, to backup my
documents to CD. For each backup I created a new
directory on the CD (for example E:\2003Jun18) and backed
up the files into the directory. This has worked twice on
previous occasions.
When I did the backup today, the previous two directories
vanished during the "write these files to CD" stage, and
afterwards I could not Explore the CD at all.
I tried again, using a fresh blank CD, and the copy was
OK.
It seems as though Explorer was not writing back the
filing structure properly (is there a limited amount of
space for this on the CD, or ...?).
Any ideas, please
