I have tried reading the disk with the burner drive and also with the
non-burner drive on the same computer, and each time it comes up empty.
Except that if I try to burn it again, I get the message that "this disk
contains data. Do you want to erase it?" and the same message again
after it has been fast-erased and fully-erased...
Got real doubts about the software I'm using, or possibly the hardware,
or possibly both.....
Unfortunately the CD drive on the DOS comp has now ceased to read any
disks. I may have to open it up and manually clean the laser as the
cleaning disk will not work under DOS.
(BTW, I am using proper read-write blank disks)
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
