| 452479 | 2006-05-05 19:58:00 | I copied 9 CD's worth of info to CD. For back purposes and to transfer to new computer. Brand new CD's. When I copied them to new comp. two of the disks could not be read. The computer just ground away for a while then gave up. No message. All disks were filled exactly the same way. Is this a sign of faulty CD's? Brand new ??? Are there any tricks to help save the info? |

| 452482 | 2006-05-05 22:02:00 | You can get a few faulty cd's in a spindle of cd's. I suppose it depends on how you copied them (what program you used), and what u mean by copied. And what you copied. And whether you finalised the cd's after. Hopefully, you didnt back/copy programs that were installed already. I would say they wont work, once you copy them to this new computer. They'll have to be reinstalled on the new PC. I wouldnt bother with verifying evverytime I burn. It most probably takes it longer to burn. |

They were all burned to disk . |
