problem when using dvd data backup disk made with XP in Vista

09-30-2007

When I put in a DVD Data Disk that I made in Windows XP into my Vista
laptop, I noticed that when using Windows Explorer in Vista 90% of the files
were not showing on the DVD disk !!! What am I doing wrong? Why can't I see
the rest of the files? None of these files are hidden in XP. I have Vista
set to show all files. There were no error messages when using the DVD Disk.
I even tried turning off UAC in Vista, but no more files were visible.

Anyone know why I can't see the rest of the files?

Vista comes with Roxio 9 basic. It is not always compatible with the Roxio
programs you paid for such as Roxio Easy CD Creator 8 (for example).
What I did was to delete the basic rox 9 and install the full version of 8
on my vista machine. It worked.
