Default SRDISKID.DAT

I replaced my CD-ROM with a CD-DVD COMBO drive, made by Samsung and
supported by german software, as I understand it.
Installation was flawless and it works beautifully, with bountyful features,
including backup.
When I checked my SR, I had lost my System Check Points and the C_Restore
folder's content was replaced with "SRDISKID.DAT", a 1KB Nero Show Time
File.
Is there a way to correct this situation and, if so, how?

Harry.

Your drive layout changed even if only temporarily with the result that
system restore automatically reset itself. Provided you don't do this
again you shouldn't have any further problems.

supported by german software, as I understand it.


Perhaps you need to explain yourself here. Are you referring to Ahead's
Nero? If so there is no need to install the German version as the English
version is readily available.

C_Restore folder's content was replaced with "SRDISKID.DAT", a 1KB
Nero Show Time File


Only because you have chosen to associate files with a DAT extension to
Nero. This association will like with other associations have absolutely
no effect on the contents of the file or its use by the operating system.
Incidentally the file contains just one ascii character which is the same
as the drive letter containing the folder. SR will reset itself if the
drive letter and the letter contained in srdiskid.dat differ.

Exactly, Mike and "Ahead Software AG" is located in Karsbad, Germany. Hence
my assumption.


Nero? If so there is no need to install the German version as the English

I do have a multi lingual version, I guess, because there are translations
of the instructions in most of the major languages.

I vaguely remember choosing association of all files mentioned with Nero.
Can that be changed back, I hope?
Even if not, it doesn't seem to have any ill effects.

This association will like with other associations have absolutely
no effect on the contents of the file or its use by the operating system.

Mike:
Apparently I've totally (remember Avast) lost my ability to create automatic
system check points in exchange for being able to make backups of part of or
my entire system, besides numerous other neat features.
An unexpected bonus in this highly recommendable adventure.
My satisfaction is guaranteed.

the problem with auto-restore points is almost certainly caused by having
InCD running in the background - try choosing not to start it at boot, and
see whether your auto-points come back

In this case it was "certainly", without the almost, Noel.
I disabled Nero on startup and everything is fine.
Thank you for your most helpful intervention.

Harry,

Nero is not InCD. These are two entirely different applications both
marketed by Ahead. Nero is a CD and DVD mastering application, InCD is
packet writing software. Noel suggested that you disable InCD on startup,
he said nothing about disabling Nero on startup, not, of course, that Nero
should even be loaded when starting a system but only when mastering a CD.
If you don't understand the difference between CD mastering software and
packet writing software you might want to start by reading Andy McFaden's
CD-Recordable FAQ (http://www.cdrfaq.org/).

I don't know what the current situation is, but the rare times in the past I
have had InCD run at Startup, it hasn't interfered with SR. But I wouldn't
be at all surprised if some of the junk Nero runs did.

I am still checking things out, Shane, but it may turn out that I was
correct in eliminating Nero from startup instead of InCD, even though it
happened because of my impatience, not looking any further down the line.
Will get back on that when I'm finished.
Why do you consider some of Nero's ware junk?
The CD/DVD Combo drive I have is really nice.

Harry.
