pomse Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi I have another trouble again. I have some DVD-RW+ that I have used in Roxio 8 as harddisk. I now have Roxio 9 and when I place the old DVD-RW in my computer and want to remove a file. Then Drag to Disc say the disc is now Write Protected. But in Roxio 8 it was not Write Protected and in Roxio 9 it is. What can I do to change that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTG Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Were you using Drag-to-Disc (D2D) in v8? Did you close the disc when you were done with it? If you left it open, then I don't think v9 D2D will be able to read it. Either way, you really shouldn't be entrusting the only copy of your important files to packet writing software, especially not on RW media. Load up v8, close your DVD, and then try and open with v9 (You'll probably have to re-install v8, which might cause you to run into some problems if you don't clean install.)

gi7omy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you are able to access the files, I'd suggest you copy those to a temp folder on the hard drive, re-format the disc with EMC9 and then copy the wanted files back. That should cure the problem of incompatability betwqeen the two versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I honestly hope you aren't relying on them as backups - packet writing s/w is probably the most unreliable method of backing up and when coupled with RW media, the reliability is on a par with an igloo on the Equator.

james_hardin Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 V9 D2D is not compatible with any disc that was formatted in a previous version as far as writing is concerned… Tips & Tricks V9 D2D formatted discs are backward compatible at least to V7. (I didn't have V6 D2D installed anywhere so I could not test that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
