Running Vista Ultimate 64x on HP Pavillon dv9000.
Hi everyone, I have tried looking all over for a solution to this problem I am having:
Most of the disks that I insert into my laptop that have been burned on an XP or earlier OS, some on a Mac, show up as blank. That is, when I insert these disks, Vista asks me how I want to format the blank disk.
These are many, many CD-Rs that have pictures burned on them. I can view the contents on the disk on computers not running Vista...
Has anyone ever heard of this, know what is going on, or can point me in the right direction? If you need more info, let me know... any input is much appreciated!
