Hi Lora. I think the scanning laser in your dvd/cd burner is dirty. You'll need a cleaning cd, you know those with bristles, pour some mitilated spirit on the bristles and put it in your cd drive. Allow it to spin for at least tfifteen minutes. You can get cd cleaners from good cd stores or DIY stores 
like KMart.  If it doesn't work, then perhaps the belt that controls the
spinning of your cd drive is damaged, in which case you'll have to replace
yor burner. If you are using a specialty disk burning software like nero or 
easy cd creator, it will be good to tune down your cd burning speed.  Fast
speed burning may not transfer all data from dvds to hard disk effectively. 
Cheers!

Subject: installing VS from ISO



Hi all -- I installed Visual Studio 2008 Express from the dvd I burned --
only because of a hardware failure, some of the files didn't get onto the
disk.  However, UltraISO seems to have modified the drive to refer not to
the dvd, but rather to the ISO file that I want to burn. (See below.)

First, does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that would get a
seemingly brand new and hardly used dvd burner to burn to the edge of the
disk? It just won't do it -- and this is not the first time I've had
problems -- i had some software on a cd that I wasn't able to install
because of the laser not scanning all the way to the edge of the disk.
I believe VS2008 installed correctly because C# and C++ and other software 
was fully installed with no errors.

I am confused by the ISO management however.  The VS software installed,
but
when I put an unrelated cd in the drive (like an audio cd) it seems to
read
it, but when there is no disk in the drive, it seems to be mapped to the
VS
ISO.
Any enlightenment about managing drives is welcome. I feel a bit
embarrassed
asking a simple OS question, but windows never was my specialty.
Thanx
