I purchasd a cdrom containing jpeg images,only my win98 computer is reading them as blank when they arent,i really need some help
-
How do you know, images are there?
-
And what program are you trying to view them in ? ?
-
Yes it has images,because a frend ov mine tried it on xp...
-
And what program are you trying to view them in ? ?
-
Ive tried viewing them in photoshop,my computer,adobe,paintshoppro ive treid everything i can think of,and yet it reads 0space 533used ?
-
What does Windows Explorer say about that CD? Can you see any files? Do you have "View hidden files" enabled?
-
yes its enabled i only wish it would load,do you think its the pc or me thats the problem
-
What does Windows Explorer say about that CD? Can you see any files?
-
Windows explorer says 0bytes remaining,i cannot see any files or folders on that disc drive cd(D:)
-
Also,in the properties section it details that there is 557bytes on it,but it asks me for a volume label huh,whats a volume label? :-/
-
Is it CDR, or CDRW?
-
Type:cdrom
File system:cdfs
???? Completely puzzled by volume label ;-(
-
Volume name is a name given to that CD by the maker (not always present).
Does your drive read other CDs?
-
Yea,ive never had this problem before
-
A friend, who sold you that CD, might have used incorrect option while burning the CD, and made it unreadable on other computer.
-
Well technically,the disc was produced by a company,that produce these images,they have sold several discs before and have never had a problem,until mine.
The disc was produced on vista,but was checked on xp before it was shipped to moi.
When i found fault with it,a family friend tried it on their laptop and it worked fine.
So i need help.....
-
I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone else will chime in.

I wonder if your particular drive just doesn't like that particular CD.
If you have family and/or friends that have computers that will read the CD, could you have one of them simply copy all the .jpgs from the CD to their hard drive, then burn them back to another CD for you?
Just to see if that works in your computer. It might be a work-around solution.

Bright idea!!!
-
Thats already been done,but its not working

How can this be ? ?
Do any CD's work on this Win98 machine ? ?

I need to changle the volume label

This is not neccessary to make a CD readable...and can only be done on a re-writable.
Actually it can only be done when it is originally burned so i think you're barking up the wrong tree and need to contact whoever made that CD for you.
You have stated it works on another machine.......this means it's probably NOT the CD.
However if it does not work on your machine it's not worth the hassle.
The suggestions posted are all valid ways of solving this dilemna...what you choose to do with the suggestions is up to you.
