Hi, this is probably an old topic, but I couldn't find an answer in former postings ... anyway: I made some files in a Mac and burnt them in a CD. When I try to save them from the CD to the desktop of a PC (Win XP), it shows the message "cannot copy file: cannot read from the source file or disk" Any ideas?

Thanks in advance! laugh.gif

Possibly, although if that were the case you would not be able to view the CD. Most likely you have a bad CD, some flaw in it or some dirt on it. Try cleaning it.

Next put in into a slower CD drive. I recoved a cd that had actually been broken in half, by putting it in the slowest cd drive in the office.

I burnt the CD again in a G5, at minimun speed (1x) and still have the same problem mad.gif There are 12 files in the CD and I can only copy the first 3 (the FMP icon doesn't even show for the rest of the files ...) tongue.gif

Try the CD in a different PC. The drive may be faulty.

There is a serious problem with the CD read/write software in XP - it seems to be incompatible with any standard CD read/write software. Did you use a CD-R or a CD-RW? Did you use the built-in software?

I tried to load a solution on a customer XP machine using a CD-RW. XP not only refused to read my CD but destroyed it!

Any possibility of using a floppy or a Zip disk?

Get a Compact Flash drive or use your digital' camera's

Possibly upload to ftp or email it to your self!
