Question regarding space on D:Drive and E:Drive

[ke6ydo]

I went into Properties under (Drive) and (Erive) and it indicates All used up Space. meaning I have only 0 bytes left and that the colored graph you see below is all blue. Does this mean I cant run any CDs anymore or save files on to them? My OS is WinXP Home.

CDRoms are removable media, not fixed disks. They show
0 space available until you put media (CD) in. Put a CD in that has data on it and check properties again.

Its still indicating 0 bytes left. I put this game inside the CD-Rom and it appears to have installed it. But still I don't understand. Last night I copied some files on to a CD (Drive E). Could that be the problem?

Its still indicating 0 bytes left. I just put a CD game inside and it appeared to have installed it. But why is it saying 0 bytes left under Properties?

Its still indicating 0 bytes under Properties. I just put in a CD game and it appears to be working fine. But I dont understand why that whole graph is colored all blue indicating used space.

Its still indicating 0 bytes left under Properties. I just put in a game which runs on CD-rom and it appeared to have installed everything. So I dont understand why the graph below is all blue indicating used up space.

empty your recycle bin, and run Scandisk and Defrag

Are D: and E: Hard drives or Cdrom drives?

CDROMS CANNOT be written to, thus they will show as 100% full anythine it is in the drive, even when you install from it. WIN9X doesn't have the ability to discern between CD's, CDR's or CDRW's, it sees them all ad CD's. your burning sowtware is what determines between Read Only ad wrightable in a 9x system. so no matter what CD you put in the drive and how much is stored on it, it's properties will ALWAYS show 0 bytes free. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
