CD/DVD Rom issues

vicedice · 10-27-2006, 06:09 AM

Ok you may have seen my previous issue yesterday: http://www.techsupportforum.com/show...473#post677473

But now I have a new one, surprise surprise.

Whenever I try burn or copy a file on ANY cd, it says:

Quote:

Error copying file or folder:

"Cannot copy "insert file name here". Files on this CD-Rom drive are read only. You cannot copy or move files over to this cd-rom drive"

I've tried updating the driver, reinstalling it and detecting new hardware changes and nothing has solved the problem. I've been using this cd rom and dvd drive for over two years without problem, what's wrong?

CD-ROMs are read only. Makes sure you have a cd-r\rw drive and cd-r disk and use a burning program. You cannot simply copy and paste.

Sorry I should have been more clear, that was something else I tried after I tried to do it the normal way by writing the files to cd with the wizard, which didn't work.

It says there is no disk in the drive, but there is and I've tried over 5 different discs.

It is a writable disc, and so are the others because I've used them before without problem.

try it with deepburner

Thanks for that, all others are working fine, such as Nero. But the default windows wizard that writes files to CDs doesn't work and even if I did begin using another program to write files to a CD Id' still be annoyed at the thought of the default wizard not working, so I really want to fix it up.

Any idea how?

check it is enabled in services

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 12:40 AM

You mean IMAPI CD burning com services? If so, it's already enabled and started.

dai · 10-28-2006, 12:42 AM

in the run box type
sfc /scannow
and press enter

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 01:15 AM

It says:

"Files that are required for windows to run properly must be copied to the dll cache.

Insert your Windows XP Professional SP2 disc now."

Problem is, I don't have one with me.

dai · 10-28-2006, 02:32 AM

down load sp2 or see if you can borrow the disk

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 02:35 AM

Ok I'm downloading from a site now, once I download it, what do I do?

dai · 10-28-2006, 02:38 AM

burn it to disk with imgburn or something similar
then run sfc /sannow with the disk in and it will install what is missing or corrupt from the disk

Thanks a lot, I'll let you know when I'm done.

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 04:14 AM

Hey again dai.. I just downloaded it from http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html

Please tell me it's the right one, I spent an hour and a half downloading it.

I just wrote it to a blank cd with Nero, but when I did the sfc /scannow it said I put in the wrong disc, do I need to extract the files from the cabinet file I downloaded and THEN write it to the cd instead of just writing the cabinet file itself?

Thanks!

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 04:55 AM

Forget my above post.

I got the i386 folder on disc with all the files inside that folder, but it says it's the wrong disc? Should I just put the files on the disc by themselves and not inside the i386 folder?

you just burn the img to to disk as is,you don't open anything

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 06:49 PM

The file I downloaded is called: WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

Imgburn says it isn't a img file or something.

Are you sure I don't need to open it up and get a file out of it and then burn that particular file?

vicedice · 10-28-2006, 10:01 PM

If I right click on the file and look click Properties it says

Type of file: Application
Description: Self-Extracting Cabinet

dai · 10-29-2006, 01:51 AM

burn it as an iso with nero
