Hi Guy's,
Sorry but it's me and my endless problems coming to terms with XP and its vagaries again.
I have all my photo's and documents backed up on CD-RW's which generally work fine, within the known XP constraints that you can't erase anything on them unless its the whole disk.
However for the second time in a month the computer has suddenly decided to read each CD-RW as being full, but with total disk capacity of only 4 to 12 mb (their all 650 mb). It prevents me writing, or over writing any further data unless I erase the CD and start again.
As I would like to keep some data on the disk and not on the hard drive this is a bloody nuisance.
Searching the MS known issues produces similar but not identical problems, to which Microshaft have replied that it's a known problem and their dealing with it. Great ! <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
Any ideas, or similar problems? I would be grateful for any views. I know that I could use CD-R's for less cost, but some data is changeable each week and the RW is better for me.
Thanks, as always in anticipation.
