eetaylog Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) For some reason i cant read any of my older data dvd backups. it seems to be a problem since XP was upgraded to SP3. Any data backup dvd's that i create now seem fine, but it seems that my dvd drive wont read anything created pre SP3. anyone else had this? edit: can a mod please sort the thread title out, just noticed ive missed the 'S' off system .

eetaylog Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 You havent said how the backups were created...... used nero to create data dvd's. most of the discs are music folders (mp3 albums). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Are the Discs DVD RW's? Did you verify when burning? Did you leave the session open? Do they work on another machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No theyre DVD-R's 2. Yes they were verified 3. Cant remember exactly, but i think the sessions were left open, tho it shouldnt matter because im not able to read the discs on the same machine that i burnt them on. 4. No they dont work on other machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you tested them after burning? Edited May 12, 2009 by bluliz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you tested them after burning? dont think they were bad dvd's as they used to work and my system read them quite happily, just noticed that since SP3 was installed none of them will open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwwd Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Can't you open them through Nero? You will need to close the session, so you might still be able to do it if you still have Nero. Load up Nero first, select close session and then insert the DVD - it might read it then or at least let you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
