Why Can't I See My Photos on my PC?

PinkLady

Hi
I added all the photos to the disk at the same time.

I don't think it's the disks as I firstly used the same as I had used before - (which had worked in the old computer and the DVD player), and then I used a few other sorts.

As I didn't have any probs until I got the new laptop, I'm thinking it's more likely a setting on here, rather than the disks or the old computer - as everything was fine until then...

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Two things have changed. The cheap cdr's are no good on your new pc. The discs cannot be read, fullstop. One thing is a constant is that you keep trying other cd readers, they are better. You have also changed the device that wrote them, error no. 2.
Use TDK cd and use better writers. Recopy them to TDK discs (using your friends pc) and you should be alright.

Hi
Thanks for this info. I will get rid of my old disks!
What sort should I buy - I must admit I don't really know what I'm doing when buying different sorts of disk.
I have a CD RW TDK disk - still sealed but prob about 4 years old. Also new Maxwell DVD RW disks. Are either of these any good for this purpose?

thanks
