Hi Folks, I have a CD which was burnt using Windows Media Player on Vista. It carries a couple of directories with many (mostly PDF) files.
When accessed with Vista, its contents are visisble and the files can be accessed.
However, Linux doesn't want to know!
I had this problem once before with A cd made by a friend with media player under XP. It turned the disc had not be 'finalised' - I use the term loosely - we put the disk back in the XP machine, ran media player and did the finalizing and then linux could read it.
HTH Cheers Ian
I suspected that might be to root of the problem (given the error message). If so, though, how does one set about getting Windows (Vista) Media Player to "finalise" the disk as Ian describes? I can't find any option to get this to happen!
(Sorry to bang on about such an unsavoury topic, but it's all for the sake of using Linux!)
