can't explore a cd

[theoretician]

There is a CD that was written on my computer with NEC NR-7800A CD ROM. After it was full I could not explore it on the computer though I could make it on another one with another CD Rom brand. Other CD explore well. On the above mentioned another computer I read File System of this "bad" CD. It was CDFS. I read File System of one of the "good" CD with NEC CD ROM. It was CDVDF. This tells nothing for me. And what about you?
If anybody can help, please do!
I work with Windows XP Pro Sp2.

CDFS is the file system found on most commercial CD's, and is also used by most burning software.

CDUDF(not CDVDF) is the packet writing file system used by Adaptec's Direct CD.

WRT to your problem, see if another CD media brand works better.

Is there any possibility to change format of this "bad" CD? Why can I read it on another computer?

So you're saying that you could neither explore the 'bad' CD nor read its file system on the computer on which the CD was burned?

 

[theoretician]

Yes! You are right!
In IE I have 0 objects answer.

If it adds some worth information I tried the "bad" CD in yet another computer with Windows XP Home and Samsung DVD Rom SD-616. The answer was
D:\ is not acceptable
The disk is corrupted and unreadable.

The disk was and is readable with Samsung CD ROM SC-148C and Windows 98SE. Without any problem!
May be it is XP who is guity?

Can your system read any other CD's that were burned on your system with the same software and the same CD burner, and that are the same brand as the 'bad' CD?

Also, what burning software are you using?

 

[theoretician]

Yes, it can.
I have only Adaptec CD Creator 5 Platinum. And I usually simply copy files using Windows Explorer.
There are several text files in different formats written on this "bad" disk.
I appreciate your patience in trying to solve my problem. It may help me.

OK, it appears that your burner, burning software, and CD media brand are not the cause if your O/S can read other CD's that were burned on your system.
And if any of these other readable CD's that were burned on your system are also full, then that's not the cause either.

You can check if the text files are the cause by burning a re-writeable CD with the text files, and then erase it and do another burn without the text files.

 

[theoretician]

It is really checked already because different types of CD were burned on this computer: musik CD, application, photo, text. There is only one "bad" CD. I have no idea how to diagnose and solve the problem, but it seems to me that the key point here is that this CD is readable with Windows 98SE, but not with XP. Why?

 

[ski]

On your system burn the exact same files on a new CD that were burned on the bad one, and use the same CD brand.
If the new one works ok, then it may be time to move on because one can waste countless hours trying to find out why just one CD out of many does not work with XP.
And when looking at the overall situation, it's just not worth the time and effort.

OK! Thanks for your help!
