Ok, so I burned some files onto a DVD-R to free up some hard drive space on my PC and now I need to put them on a thumb drive. Since my PSU just decided to fail (right when my new video card comes) I decided to use my Latitude D610 laptop to transfer the data.
So I put the DVD-R in to the DVD burner on the D610 and the windows auto launch thing comes up and I select "open folder to view files" explorer launches and the window is completely blank. I select properties on the DVD drive and it says that used and free space are both 0 bytes, (I also noticed that it detects it as a "CD Drive" but I don't know if it's always done that).
However, if I open a burning program, in this case CDBurner XP, it says that there is 4335.72 MB on disk, and that the remaining size is 152.34 MB but it still shows no files on the disk (more specifically, "Joliet with 0 folders and 0 files", but I don't know what Joliet is).
any ideas? I don't have another PC to test this with at the moment.
thanx.
