Have am running XP. I have two copy to disk utilities: the copy disk utility in Windows and a disk management utility called Nero.
When I use the Windows utility to try and copy photos onto a CD, it copies everything and then says, "Copy Finished. Finalizing... 5 seconds to go." And then it freezes there, not copying anything but showing the origin photos as washed-out icons. If I close it nothing is copied.
When I use Nero, similar thing. It finishes, says "Copy Complete." Fine. I then try to read the images copied to the CD and see the same washed-out icons with another message: "Images ready to copy." Once again, I can neither complete the copying nor finish runiing the utility.
After each attempt, the PC freezes, the computer list icons disappear "C", "D", "E", etc., and I have to reboot the PC to get it working again. Sometimes after I try a copy, all the icons on the desktop disappear and I have to reboot manually by shutting-off the power. After reboot I get a balloon saying, "You have images to copy." Big help.
I tried resetting the PC to an earlier date and all works until I try another copy. Then, repeats the above.
Help, please.
Huh, you MAC fanboys crack me up. MACs are great computers but the low self esteem that seems to go with their use is pathetic.
What are the elements in your religion, the consecrated hosts, the vestments?
Windows 7.0 is merely a dressed up version of DOS6.22? What version of DOS is 64 bit?
Mac fanboys just don’t have the spirit of adventure Windows users do.
And how they can tolerate a one-button mouse is something I’ll never understand.
Port it to what? Linux? For the 0.5% market share that Linux commands?
Windows 7 is an excellent OS. Stable and secure.
Although true, there's more to it than that.
The person asked for specific help about a specific task on a specific computer.
There is a juvenile personality type that won't allow the words I don't know into their brain. Instead of simply not responding, the have to show how clever they are by changing the problem. It doesn't answer the question, but feeds their tiny ego.
My gut still says it is the ASPI layer...
Sorry EPU, pabianice my last response (27) should’ve been to you...
I agree but then again I did the same thing.
The problem with the original post is that I use the functionality built into Windows 7.
At Church, we use Nero and it does have its off days but I have no idea why.
Installed several recommended copying programs. Same problem with them. Back at shop. Tech now suspects that Norton 360 is blocking copying anything to the CD burner. Will try to figure-out what the problem is. The Adventure Continues...
Found the D drive -- CD reader -- was conflicting with the E drive -- CD/DVD reader/writer. Shop doesn't know why. Disconnected D: CD reader and E drive now works fine. Thanks all for suggestions.
What kind of shop is that, they just disconnect a drive and it’s fixed?
1) How many hard drives do you have?
2) If more than one, are the on the same IDE cable and are they daisy chained as master/slave on the master or primary channel on the motherboard
3) Do you have two optical drives?
4) If so, are they on the same IDE cable and are they set up as master/slave on the secondary channel on the motherboard?
The problem is if the jumpers aren’t set correctly on the drive, its address conflicts with another. I never put optical drives on the same channel as the hard drive.
I would note how all the cables are connected, how all the drive jumpers are set and start from scratch doing what I said.
You’ll get it to work.
BTW, you do have a backup?
