udf to cdfs?

[rjwilldohisbest]

Hi All.

I'm trying to bring files from a cdrw to the My Documents section with xp.
Is there any way to convert the udf to work with the xp format? I cannot transfer files because xp cannot read the file type.
This computer is for my mother and I would like to set it up quick. I'm only knowledgable with win98. This xp is a nice os but it is really frustrating with the limits to what I can do at this time.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

Initially, I was opting to reformat the drive but the computer did not come with backup disks so if I attempt to eliminate xp and install win98 and mess up I might be fubared. Im not sure if I can even do this?

I have an hp pavillion bt963
win xp home edition
1.2 ghz processor
128 megs of ram
33.75 gig hd but it reads 24 when no other progs are installed?
It does accept fat but only for the recovery portions?
which read at 4.41 gigs, where's the other 4 gigs that are taken by the puter? The rest of the file system is ntfs. I'm really lost.

These new file systems are a pain. I tried installing a udf reader program but windows disabled it after the reboot :-(

Any help would be great.
Right now C:\format is on my mind right about now

also, is it possible to use the same cdr to write then write later onto blank portions? I can do this on win98 but not on xp.

Thanks.

Hi Dave.

Thanks for the information.
I found out that on that xp computer the cd drive is an HP cd16f, I didn't see it on the Nero list of recommended drives but it will work with the Iomega zip 650 I have.

I'll keep looking around to see if I may have missed something at the list.
Thanks for your time Dave.

Hello,

Yes, your HP CD-Writer cd16f is not yet on the list which is on the web, but in fact it is supported since Nero 5.5.5.0, so the avaible web update to 5.5.5.1 will allow you to use your recorder. You can even try with the demo of Nero (same file as the update) to be sure.
