CPU/Mobo CD/DVD problem

[Vince]

I've been burning cds/dvds as multisession.

After some time, if i burn the dvd as multisession and complete the dvd, it reads completely.
but if i finalize the dvd, i cannot see the old files in the dvd... only the new files can be seen., though everything can be seen in my sis's laptop's dvd-rom drive...

What can i do?

Thanks in advance...

What OS are you using? win98 has this problem.

No, i only use Win XP Home. and Nero 6.3.1.26

But my friend who had the same problem found that his Win98 (dunno if its SE or something) COULD read cds with this problem, i.e., you could right-click it and view the diff. tracks burnt in the properties...

which OS is loaded on your sister's laptop?

also, try accessing the DVD from the command prompt.

Just a thought - have you installed the ASPI layer ? I have often found installing this free software correcting these type of poblems. Here is the link for the ASPI driver - read the instrucions on the page...

@ Ein: my sis' laptop uses Win XP Professional... i havnt tried the cmd prompt...yet..

@Eazy: Thanks for that link..

BTW, i installed InCD and that seems to have solved my problem... i managed to open the entire dvd...
