Copying files from 1 PC to another
I am trying to copy large files from one PC to another. The
3.5 DS HD disks are too small, so I tried to use a 700MB CD-R. When I try to copy, the CD drive says that there is no disk in drive or the drive is not ready. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Marty |

When I try to copy, the CD drive says that there is no disk in drive or the drive is not ready. This indicates either (1) this is a CD read-only drive working OK (which cannot read an unformatted disk), or (2) this is a CD Read/Write drive but its control drivers have not been installed. You may find it faster to send files by email (send from one PC, receive on the other PC), that is if disk-spanning utilities (WinZip) do not conveniently meet yoour needs. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
Have you checked the drive with pre-recorded CDs and is it OK? If it's a
re-writeable CD then the second machine might not understand the CD format or might not be able to cope with the re-writeable media. If it's a write-once CD then perhaps you haven't closed the CD. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Marty" wrote in message ... I am trying to copy large files from one PC to another.

And I think some such software only works with RW disks, not R. -- The e-mail address in our reply-to line is reversed in an attempt to minimize spam. Our true address is of the form . |
