Burning Files to a CD

Copied files to a CD. Then selected "Close Session". Now I can't eject the
CD because it thinks that it is closing the session but It won't finish the
job. Icon in the tray is of no help. I would think that there would be
some sort of Progress Bar but there's not. Anybody else had this issue.

I'm stuck!!
 
The Build would help. After a suitable waiting period, I would go to Task
Manager, and kill the DVD writing session and reburn. I would reburn and
use the CRC utility to check it. I'm guessing you mean Beta 2 instead of
any of 3 builds after Beta 2 so here are reburn instructions with a link to
download the CRC Checking Utility:

If you have no special conditions, and could not get it installed, then I'd
suspect the download or burn and I'd reburn using a CRC checking tool:

Make sure when you reburn you do it from within XP and run the setup that
will show up on the XP desktop:

Reburn Option:

1) Burn slowly. 4X should be fine. Some of this probably varies with the
DVD writer and the media.

2) Make sure to select an ISO tab if there is one on the burning software,
and make sure to close the session on the burn.

3) Try this tweak on your Windows XP drive and burn from there:

Get to Dev Manager by typing devmgmt.msc in run/win key + pause break or
Rt.click My Computer>Prop>hardware tab>Device Manager if you like 5 steps
instead of one cmd. If you're set to PMI here change to DMO and if set to
DMO change to PMI using these 5 steps:

1) Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers

2) Double Click the Secondary IDE Controller

3) Click Advanced Settings

4) Under Device 1  Next to Transfer Mode choose DMA (or vise versa)>Click
OK

5) Reboot your System

6) Check your burn with a CRC utility and the links for this are below
including the direct Taco Bell link. It is very classy, sophisticated, and
very Wagner Edstrom/McCann Ericson esque for MSFT to adopt a Taco Bell url
for their public Beta 2 CRC checker.

Obtain the CRC Utility for Vista Beta 2 Here: (The CRC utility is a way to
check
the integrity of the ISO Burn which is probably where your problem
lies--it's #1 on the list):

Here's a link:

The CRC utility for Beta 2 is contained here (Scroll down to the bottom
under "Additional Information"

Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit (SDK) for Beta 2 of Windows
Vista and WinFX Runtime Components
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...73-F5EA-4B7B-B022-97755838DB94&displaylang=en

Additional Information:

To verify that your download of an ISO file for the Windows SDK Beta 2 build
is not corrupt, download the CRC Utility. (Note: this is not a Microsoft
application. Use at your own risk.)

To run the CRC test, open a command prompt and run the utility. providing it
the name of the file (i.e. crc
c:\6.0.5383.1.1.WindowsSDK_Vista_idw.DVD.Rel.img) The CRC utility will run
two tests on the ISO: it will verify if the ISO is valid, and it will give
the AutoCRC signature for the file. The AutoCRC signature for the Windows
SDK Beta 2 ISO is 0x28434EEF. You should also confirm the size of the ISO is
correct: 1.14 GB (1,229,355,008 bytes).

If it fails any of these three tests, re-download the ISO (ordinarily--but
in this case you'll have to wait for RC1 which will be soon or if you're
using Technet or MSDN whatever build they are giving you):

I really like the direct link to it though if you right click CRC here>left

I'm using the latest build. I just ejected the CD and everything is fine.
Just the icon in the Sys Tray warns you to close the session first or you
will loose data... it says that even if the session is closed. Plus you
don't get any sort of progress bar or anything that tells you the job is
complete.

Just lacking proper info.
 
It's actually Vista 5384.4 Beta 2 (32 bit) that I'm using.
Build: 411.? (Can't read it on my DVD that I wrote the info on).
 
It appears that the data on the CD can only be seen when running Vista.
Will not work on my XP or W2K machine. I'm guessing that the session was
not closed.

And then the issue... I can't close the session. What is the trick?
 
The 'not closing session' sounds like a bug, you should try again and post
it to MS if it happens each time.

As far as the 'read only on Vista' - what UDF format did you select? I
forget what Vista defaults to, but there are restrictions (esp if the
session didn't close properly)

-- George.
 
If I remember right Vista supports four and I think 2.0 may be the default.
You can check this out in Disk Management by inserting a cd in the drive and
right clicking on its icon. Then choose format and you should see the
options for UDF.
