unable to read files from previously burned cdroms

Postby axelp » Fri Jan 16, 2004 3:17 pm

Dear all, thanks for reading this thread

I recently formatted my computer and upgraded to Windows Xp from Windows ME ( Windows Me came with my computer when i bought it)

Since then, i couldn;t read the movies files in those previous cds i burned using NTI cd maker.
My cd drive can read what is inside the cd without any difficulty, and the mpeg file is shown on windows explorer, but the funny thing is i cannot right click the file. When i double click, try to copy, or play the file, it says " The disc struture is corrupted or unreadable "

This situation applies to all cds i burned previously ( around 30 odd cds ) and the odd thing is that the problem does not apply to other computers, as my friends can all still play the files from my discs..................

Im not sure if this is a cd drive problem or software or driver problem, thus i posted my problem here. Please pardon me if I posted in the wrong section.

If anyone knows how to help me, please reply, thanks alot

Did you update your CDROM drivers to WinXp compatable ones?
