Can’t copy WIN98 files to XP using CD

by yarwak1 . Updated 21 years, 10 months ago

WIN98 & XP successfully initialize CDs, however:

WIN98 to XP – Data files written on WIN98 system. XP recognizes CD as mounted, but XP Windows Explorer sees the CD as empty.

XP to WIN98 – Data files written on XP system. WIN98 recognizes CD as mounted, Windows Explorer sees the XP files on the CD, lets me copy them to the HD, but will not let me copy a WIN98 file to the CD. It gives me a Windows Error Copying File message saying access denied that the CD is either full or write protected.

One site I went to suggested an MS patch for CD problems, but an attempt to install it produced a msg that the patch was already installed.

Advice would be appreciated….
