REDWAGON Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 sounds to me like the burn was for some "binary" data. What's that old saying ? "Giberish in, Giberish out" or was that "Garbage" ? A little more information on exactly what was being burned and how it all started would be helpful. Frank......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elomon Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Burned about 3 GB of various files - some binary, some text. Mostly office documents (word, excel, ppt, etc) plus some code samples. Nothing spectacular - I've burned it with Nero plenty of times before and not had a problem. The text files appear to have about 1/2 of their contents as they did on the hard drive & the rest has been replaced with binary characters. It looks like what you see when you open a .exe with Notepad. grandpabruce - what setting could I have chosen that would have mangled my files?
