Re: [newbie] cd-rw
Thanks Ralph, I am going to search the internet for freeware for cd burning. I have found over the years that often the best solution does not come from a big company. I have to be careful though, as my wife likes the Windows box just the way it is. -Jeff On 28 Jan 2002, you wrote: > Don't forget to copy everything from the CD onto your HD before you > install Nero as it WILL uninstall Adaptec.

Re: Re[2]: [newbie] cd-rw
Roman, thank you for your help. I was thinking there was something wrong with the setup of Mandrake, I really have so much to learn. I will check out the other Win programs for burning, I was just hoping to be lazy and transfer some files from my win box. -Jeff On 28 Jan 2002, you wrote: > Hi, > > >> I am having trouble reading a cd-rw cd.

Re: [newbie] cd-rw
It's Adaptec. And I did drag and drop. I'll check out Nero, thanks for the help. -Jeff On 28 Jan 2002, you wrote: > With which program did you use to burn to the cd-rw in Windows?

[newbie] cd-rw
Hi. I am having trouble reading a cd-rw cd. This is a brand new installation of 8.1. I am trying to look at a cd that was created in windows. My Sony crx0811 seems to see cd-r but not cd-rw. It mounts but shows only two files: autorun.inf and udfrinst.exe. -Jeff Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] copying files from cd
I am doing everything from the desktop, I am way to new to try anything else. From Nautilus right click copy, go to a new directory, right click paste. files go in but 0 bytes. I changed from Gnome to Windowmaker and it worked fine. -Jeff On 27 Jan 2002, you wrote: > You aren't copying it correctly! > > You should be doing something like 'cp /mnt/cdrom/afile.txt > ~/afile.txt'. > > > Are you doing this copy from the command line or the desktop. > > > > > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 7:35 PM To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject:[newbie] copying files from cd > > > > Hi.

[newbie] copying files from cd
Hi. I am really new to the Linux experience and just had a basic question. When I try to copy a file from a cd to my hard drive it copies over fine but shows up as a file with 0 bytes, and can not be opened. Wondering what I am doing wrong. -Jeff Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
