ironman666 0 Posted March 28, 2001 Hey everyone. I played with WindowsXP build 2458 and one of the first things i tested out was the built in ability to burn cds. Is there a way to know whether or not the cds are closed or left open? and if there is a way to control that, does anyone how to do that? I remember a wizard popping up when it was ready to burn the files, but i don't remember if it asked to be left open or closed... -Syed Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted March 29, 2001 I would suspect (as I haven't had a chance to use XP yet) that it uses packet writing rather than the method used when Nero (or whatever) burns a CD. With packet writing you can treat the CD-R like a floppy drive just adding and deleting files at will. Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted March 29, 2001 yeah it would be nice to know if the CDs burned using internal CD burning are only readable in whistler or any OS Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted March 30, 2001 ok, i'm gonna burn a cd in 2446 and see if it leaves it open and if its readable by other os's as well. Share this post Link to post
Down8 0 Posted March 30, 2001 Bursar,I don't think you can delete files from a simple CD-R, but only CD-RWs. -bZj Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted March 30, 2001 Yeah, sorry. Slip of the fingers, but was probably worth you pointing out. Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted March 30, 2001 Well OK you can't physically delete from a CDR, but you can hide files so they don't appear. Load up EasyCD 4 and 'Import Session'. Now delete something from the CD layout and burn the CD. When you browse that CD the file will no longer be visable, unless you use the 'Session Select' application. Share this post Link to post
