Windows native build-in format for these disks wont allow you to
delete 1 file out of many, but Nero INCD will, which is I believe is
the source of all the confusion.
Windows has NO native means of writing packets of data to an optical
disk & that's what INCd is for.
INCD was working on the new puter, then for no apparent reason my
old disks became full - ie I couldn't record nadir. On the old
puter I had no problem with the same disk. My new machine is using
the trial version 64-bit edition of XP - free to download, and
otherwise working fairly well for a trial OS.
All packet writing software is problematic whether you use INCd or
Roxio's DirectCd (iirc). It's the app that formats the disks after
they've been locked into place. If one RTFM one would find that even
the app manufacturer says that disks may NOT be transferrable from
machine to machine altho they may have this noted in fine print somewhere.
I upgraded specifically to do this!
Here is my system summary.
OS Name Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Professional x64 Edition
Optical drive : LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S
Display Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
Motherboard : GA-K8N-SLi
Chipset : nVidia nForce4 ICP
Giga-Byte Technology nForce4 PCI to ISA Bridge
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
Any suggestions would be greatfully received.
It's a shame that one builds such a nice machine to work with such
crappy software. If I see the word packet when associated with
optical disks I run the other way as far & fast as I can. You have at
least a 10meg overhead [wasted space] every time you write to the
disk. You could easily waste a third of the space with this overhead
plus it kills me when people say that they can drag & drop just like
Windows yet this is the only place one has to LOCK a drive. IIRC if a
CD/DVD that has been written to in packet mode hasn't been closed
also can NOT be read. If I have an earlier version of InCd then most
likely I'd never be able to read the disk yet if I use Nero Burning
ROM & burn the whole disk of data at once that disk can be read on
most any machine without Nero Burning ROM even installed.
Cache the files. Either let Xp do it for you or make your own
temporary CD/DVD folder & when it's holding enough data to actually
fill the optical disk then burn, baby, burn but not packets of data
but rather the actual data itself.
