| 105862 | 2002-12-14 04:47:00 | I've just bought an external CD burner for a laptop with Nero burning software. Despite the sketchy booklet and the Help in less than perfect English I find it easy to use. But......what is InCd? There's no mention of it in the booklet or Help (or none that I can see). What does InCd do, and how do you operate it? | Shortstop (632) | ||

| 105864 | 2002-12-14 05:10:00 | very simply, it allows you to use a cd as a floppy drive - you can save files to it as you would any other drive. You can only read the disk from your pc until you 'finalise' the disk. | andy (473) | ||

You can only read the disk from your pc until you 'finalise' the disk. I use INCD to copy My Documents and all my Drivers. If I had to do a reformat would I be able to read the contents on the CDRW's and download the drivers to my PC if I haven,t "finalised" the disc? Cos I alternate between two CDRW's each week I never finalise them. Am I makeing a mistake thinking that I have backed up my information so that it is usable in the scenario of my HD crashing? Do I need to change my backup system? |

| 105866 | 2002-12-14 21:14:00 | I could be wrong here but it is possible to read a InCD disk on another computer providing that computer(s) has got what is basically a InCD reader installed, it should also be available from the Nero site. Basically InCD is a over size floppy drive or moveable hard drive, which ever way you would like to look at it. Stick a disk in, format it and then drag and drop, copy/paste, etc just as you would between folders or drives else where on your computer. Thats the idea anyway........... |

| 105868 | 2002-12-14 21:55:00 | Danger: I have never finalised my CD-RW disks written with InCD (didn't know you had to! :D) and I reformatted the old PC after I got my CD writer last year. I have never had a problem getting my files off the CDs BUT only if I used the CD writer to read the disks. I can't read the CD-RW disks in the CR-ROM drive - possibly because they aren't finalised? To be on the safe side I also back up my critical files (eg important data, drivers, downloaded programs that I want to keep, etc) onto a CD-R disk so that I CAN read the disk in any CD-ROM drive. This backup CD is done in one session, whether I can fill the CD or not, although I do try to fill it. I've got about three of them so far - the CD-R disks are cheap enough to sacrifice on having updated but near-duplicate disks. |

| 105869 | 2002-12-14 23:01:00 | Thanks ruquila for the info. Found it very helpful. Followed the instructions and had 4 goes at formating the CD-RW - each time it corpsed towards the end of the logical formating. Don't think I did anything different, but the 5th attempt succeeded. | Shortstop (632) | ||
