108601 2002-12-24 01:30:00 I brought a SKC pre-fromatted cd-rw and it didn't work, so I read around the cases words and it says

1.This cd-rw disc has been formatted by adaptec directCD packet writting software.
2.This disc can immediately be used with systems on which directCD or PacketCD are installed.
3.When using ISO9660 software, use unformatetd discs

I got Adaptec Easy CD Creator Version 3.5c {02/13/00}. Doesn't my cd-rw work cause my software isnt directCD PacketCD installed? where can I get the DirectCd and PaCketcd ???, please help, I can't return the cd-rw!!

108605 2002-12-24 10:06:00 I suggest you update your Adaptec (Roxio) software here (www.roxio.com). The version you are using is old and may not include UDF drivers required for packet writing of CDRW disks (or maybe they just aren't installed). Rod J (451)
108606 2002-12-26 00:54:00 I just did a 11MB for nothin, I said I didnt have any roxio products installed on my computer!! any way, my cd rw worked after I formatted it :) TiM©:*) (977)

According to your first post you had Adaptec Easy CD Creator Version 3.5c, maybe you are not aware that Roxio has taken over Adaptec. Same product, newer versions, that all.

108608 2002-12-26 01:21:00 Ooh really?, but how come it said it I didn't have any roxio products then? . Did I download the wrong patch?
