I wanted to retreive some tutorials for photoshop. However, the time to download them via a Dialup connection was rediculusly s-l-o-w, so I had a friend with DSL do it; much-faster!. He got all I asked, then burned them to CD using Roxio. I loaded the CD, but I was only able to see an Autorun.inf, UdfrChk.exe and udfrinst.zl, and nothing more. Can it be that the Adaptec CD application is not able "read" the Roxio one? I can see that the disk is approx. half full. If I enable the UdfrChk.exe on the CD would it interact adversly with the Adaptec version, which I have no plans on scraping?

You didn't mention OS version. If it is Win98, try "No Read Ahead on your Device Manager\Performance\CDROM tab.

Did your friend use DirectCD to copy the files onto a CD-RW disk?

If so, yes there could be a version conflict.

More likely though, there is a hardware issue that your CD drive is not compatible with your friends CD drive for CD-RW disks.

Have your friend burn the files onto a CD-R disk and see if that works.
