[filmscanners] RE: CD RW Problem

["John Rossi" <cjrossi1942@attbi.com>]

Thanks for all the good information. I am using Adapcet's Direct CD Creator
program.  I will look for an updated version of the software and updated
drivers for my Sony CRX140E burner.
I like the idea of using CD-R's rather than CD-RW's.  I think this will be a
more stable solution.
Any ideas on how I can access files on the damaged CD?  I shot a wedding
(not an assignment but as a guest) and got some great shots.  I can see the
.jpg files in explorer but cannot open them.  When I try to open one my PC
hangs up and usually requires a reboot.  I have tried running Adapcet's fix
disk but that did not work.  There are other files on this disk in different
folders that I can open, however none can be opened in the effected folder.
Thanks to all for the good information.  John Rossi

Although I am no big fan of Memorex products (whoever makes them... they
don't), I suspect the problem is Adaptec's Direct CD program, if that is
what you are using.  Many have complained about lost files and folders
with that program.  Also, I found if I wrote a disk with an open session
with an earlier version of CDCreator, and then tried to write a new
session or close the disk with a different version of the software
sometimes the whole disk becomes unreadable (and un-erasable, and
therefore unusable, BTW).
