39276 2002-03-15 05:06:00 Modem goes now, got printer working, and on second install (this time after full format)

Now I want to retrieve my backups off a CDrw disc. I can read the disc, but not open any folders or caopy any files. I can view the entire contents in command prompt, but xcopy says access denied.

Tried updating drivers, but are firmware dos drivers.

model is an Acer CD-RW 84321a - 5.EZ see here:

any ideas?

Don't know anything about XP (so perfectly qualified to ask): Can you copy these files if you are logged in as Administrator.
