I have a CD that has both audio files and data files. When I put the CD in the computer, I am only able to see the audio files, not the data files. Am able to see both on a different computer. Why would I not be able to see both files on the computer?

Cd drive speeds, open multisession disc

by ktreetz

the CD being placed in the drive is a CD that has both audio and data (PDF's). It is not a CD that was burned.

But one good possibility would be a failing optical drive.

Also look at any Burning Software installed on the computer affected. It is possible that the Recording Software is taking control of the Install Media and making it invisible. Roxio used to be well known for doing things like that with Data CD's. ;)

I have a user who was having problems loading a CD with Quickbooks on it; completely different post.

At least not any that I can find.

Do you have more than one ID ?
