A number of AVI files were on my system that I wished to place onto CDR for future retrieval. For efficiency I decided to zip all 80 .avi files into a single .ZIP file but have the file "split" over a number of CDR discs in order to maximize cd space usage. While using NeroBurn I made the mistake of using the same NEW compilation window to drag/drop these partial .ZIP files to create each subsequent CDRs. In effect each created CDR disc now has the same Volume Label (and likely, Serial #). The problem is when i use WinZip to extract one or all the .AVI files from the archive on the CDR discs.
WinZip will ask for a particular CDR disc and then begin extracting correctly. However when it asks for the next CDR disc, and I insert it to continue the extraction, WinZip erroneously reports that the CDR disc is incorrect thinking that I have NOT inserted the proper CDR but in fact left the same one in the drive. While still in Windows i popup a DOS console window to check the CDR directory contents and oddly enough WinZip is correct -- the contents is STILL showing as the previous CDR disc as if Windows has not updated the directory contents for the new CDR.
I have not rebooted and entered real dos mode to simply copy the entire contents from each CDR then reeneter Windows to do the winzip extraction. I would like to find out a more convenient solution to this problem - essentially getting Windows to refresh its directory contents each time i insert a new CDR even when each CDR disc has the same Volume Label and Serial #.
Thanks for any tips. I am using Windows 2000 Pro, Hitachi GD-7000 DVDROM and have already tried enabling/disabling Auto-Play CDROM.
