| 391266 | 2005-09-27 14:02:00 | Ok , well personal I have worked on quite a few XP Home machines and they usualy give issues, aswell as XP Pro being a bit more networking friendly it also alows you to do alot more as far as system settings and all are concerned, Pro also tends to be a bit more stable by comparison, might not be perpousfull, but I had more Issues when running home than I do now."Personal Observation". Home has been choped alot compared to Pro, and well for someone who is technicaly orientated... Home just don't cut it. Dont know if anyone else shares my views , but Pro is definately more open to adjustment. | Mike_SA (8956) | ||

Notice the part about Performance. Designed for more workload, it's bound to run atleast a bit better. |

| 391268 | 2005-09-27 14:30:00 | Its called marketing, It runs no faster nor more stable, and outside of an office or professional enviorment is a waste of money, and even then most offices (small ones anyhow) make no use of its additional capabilities. did they mention security?.............Lmao. Oh,and welcome to the forum. |

| 391269 | 2005-09-27 20:32:00 | I've run InCD 3.5 on two WinXP Home SP2 with no problems at all. But then, for most people, InCD is a waste of time and you'll never use it anyway. Though if you do have SP2, you must get Nero 6. any of the 5.x or lower versions are incompatible. |

| 391270 | 2005-09-27 23:00:00 | I've had nothing but trouble with trying to use RW CDs between my desktop(XP prof) and laptop (XP home). So decided to try Terry Porritts advice and get rid of InCD from my desktop. So I did. But now I find I cannot find any way to format a CD. The help files are useless. If I go to My Computer I can select the drive OK but the format command is absolutely absent. I did rather surprisingly find that my laptop also shows InCD format - I thought I was only using Roxio on that computer. How do I get my desktop to format a RWCD (I want to try the XP default method). Tom |

| 391271 | 2005-09-27 23:14:00 | right click the optical drove holding the CD,select format....Same as if you were formattiung a floppy.... | Metla (12) | ||
| 391272 | 2005-09-28 08:14:00 | Thanks Metla. Good advice. But it don't work. When I do as you suggest there is no sign of the FORMAT command. I must have tried this method just about every way I can think of but no joy. Still stuck. Tom |

| 391273 | 2005-09-28 08:28:00 | Use Nero Express / data / data disc option . And click on add, and add files to the cd/whatever . This is if you want to put exe files to cd . Just make sure allow files to be added later is ticked . So u can add to the cd later . I used to use CD Creator 6 instead of InCD, but for some reason, it didnt like SP2, after I installed SP2 . So, I biffed it . And use Nero Express, if I want to burn data files to CD . |

| 391274 | 2005-09-28 08:29:00 | Windows XP inbuilt burner application cannot format a CD-RW disc for UDF packet writing in the manner that InCD does. Despite the above suggestion. If it's working for Metla, then he must have InCD or DirectCD or similar installed. Packet writing to enable read-write of a CD-RW is about the most unreliable form of storage that I have ever encountered. A CD-RW disk is really designed to be Re Writable (completely erased and then rewritten as a clean disk) not Read Write as a floppy, probably why packet writing often fails in reliability. |
