I don't understand this one. i have written files to CD
and then on the same computer after a complete format and
reinstallation i cannot copy the files. i can view them,
but if i try and copy them in to a folder i get the
message "cannot copy file: cannot read from the source
file or disk"

did these files copy bad, or is there a different reason?

thanks for any help

If you copied the files directly to the CD it is likely you had some packet
writing software installed as this function is not supported natively by
Windows XP. If that is the case, while XP has the ability to read some
packet written CDs, on many systems, it doesn't work. Hence, you need to
install software such as the Drag to Disk or Direct CD component of Easy CD
Creator, www.roxio.com or the InCD component of Nero, www.nero.com. Check
websites for versions compatible with XP and compatible burners.
