Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] transfer files from old to new computer

Vulcanander · 03-03-2008, 12:04 AM

My problem is most likely a common one. I recently bought a new computer and wanted to copy files and pictures onto my new computer from my old one. However, the DVD RW Rom device doesn't read the files, only lists an option for me to add and burn files onto the already closed disc despite having acknowledged that there has been space used up on the disc.

I have tried looking up similar problems but most solutions I have found regard the drive itself not appearing or the problem listed above, nothing specific to what I am having troubles with and do not wish to play around with settings that might cause this PC to become unstable.

I don't know if editing the registry would work, I doubt it. I've tried disabling the auto run feature, but it doesn't correct the problem. I'm at a loss at this point and would love to receive any help that can be offered.

System Info:
Compaq built by Hewlit Packard
Windows Vista Home Premium
AMD Athlon Processor LE-1620 @ 2.4 GHz
894MB RAM
32-Bit OS

the drive in question is a TSST Corp. CDDVDW TS-H653N CD Rom Device.

Again, thank you for any help in advance.
