Can't read data from burned DVD - worked prior to reimaging my mac
Hello - I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a tonne of pictures, files, movies etc which I burned to DVDs using Windows to copy/write the files in a BenQ DVD writer. I was always able to read these DVDs on my computer's DVD drive as well as the BenQ itself. This past weekend, I reimaged my computer (Windows XP Home). Now, when I put the DVDs in, Windows can't see any files. Assistance is greatly appreciated!

If no, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm

In that case, you don't have the same program installed that you used to. You need to have packet-writing software installed or a UDF reader. Examples are Roxio's Drag-to-Disc and Nero's InCD. If this is what you did, a better solution is to *not* use CD/DVD-RWs and just use CD/DVD-Rs instead in the future. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
