171968 2003-08-31 08:25:00 I have a CD-RW disc containing backups of various downloads which had been recorded with InCD or Roxio depending on the computer I was using at the time.
Until now all has been ok, but suddenly, when I wanted to add another file, InCD tells me that the disc is write-protected, and none of the files are visible in Windows Explorer.
On the other computer Roxio tells me it is a blank non-formatted disc.
Has anyone else found InCD to wreck a disc like this, and if so, can the lost files be recovered?
Thanks in advance for any help.

171969 2003-08-31 10:22:00 you could have a dead disk. i've had a few die. also check what ver of incd you used and the one you are now useing. the disks written with the early one is not readable by the newer versions. tweak'e (174)
171970 2003-08-31 21:06:00 Hi rodb.I gave up on using Direct cd(roxio) as I had that problem as well.Also when inserting a cd into the writer it would automatically start up and get ready for writing to,which I didn't want to happen every time.So just use the main screen in Roxio now to record everything.Found a good program called Isobuster which can read everything on a cdr. Sorry,haven't learnt the art of doing the link bit,but it is easily found on google. Neil McC (178)
171971 2003-09-01 00:38:00 To tweak'e: Thanks for the comment, but InCD(Nero) came installed on that particular computer and has not been altered in any way. I've never really been impressed with Nero, and may install Roxio there instead.

To Neil McC: Thanks for the reference to Isobuster. Will look for it when I get some free time.
Your problem with Roxio can probably be cured by reconfiguration.
