64bit Vista

Capt Jack · 01-12-2009, 10:01 PM

so, any of you techies have an idea of why pic files written to a DvD from an XP machine cant be seen by 64bit Vista? I know theyre there (verified on other XP machines)..but all Vista sees is an empty folder.

Well, my first answer would be "because it is Microsoft"

which is sort of the conclusion I came to as well....

I had a few discs like that back when I was first transitioning to Vista - depends on how the discs were formatted (I used isobuster to get the data, then burned them again in Vista and all is well)

ok, I'll try again tomorrow. I had to have someone at work with a DvD burner write the files for me. I'll see what kind of options for formatting are available on his rig and try again......

thanks

Probably because whoever wrote Vista driver for your drive sucks.
