#Phillips ISO9660 no read
12 messages in this thread
I have a CD burnt on a cheap Phillips CDROM burner that I can't read on my
machine. I can see the files in file manager but I can't copy them. It says
that the path is not valid???? But I can see them listed. The files are TIF
files in no special format other than single session CD any suggestions would
be appreciated.

What kind of CD-ROM drive are you using to try to read them?

Hi Richard,
The one you should be talking to is your software vendor? Who's software are
you using? Someone can help you. Correl, Incat, Elektroson, C-Quadraat and
Moniker are all frequent visitors to the forum.
To me it sounds like a ISO9660 conflict. It could be that either you used
invalid ISO or DOS names or the files are not sorted correctly on the disc.
Good Luck,

I don't know what software was used, the disk was given to us by a client. Were
a photo lab with digital capablities. However I'm no dumby I just don't know to
much about the task of making CD's rerecordable or otherwise.

Richard,
Where did you get a "cheap" Philips recorder? Didn't know they made such…
Kathy
Didn't mean to offend anyone, that was the term that was used to tell me about
the problem. Cheap meaning that it was only capable of single session writes I
guess. I'm a Netware CNA and a System Analyst not a mind reader.<G>
RS
Sounds like someone trying to pass the buck… Philips makes good equipment,
and even their less expensive OEM'd writers are not "cheap" in any sense of the
word. But since you're going on hearsay, we'll forgive you <G>
Kathy
Thanks for the forgiveness, can you give me clue as to where to look for an
answer for my problem. I don't know who's software was used or anything other
than they handed me a disk and said make it work. Bet you never heard that
before<G>.

Richard,
I'd hand the disc back if I were you — without some basic information such as
software, writer, procedures, etc. there's no reasonable way to diagnose the
problem. It's tricky enough to find out what's wrong when you know all the
variables!

Kathy,
<<Where did you get a "cheap" Philips recorder? >>
I know where you could get one. I have a client with a 521 and he has yet to
make a good disc with it. Seems there's a bug in the machine that leaves a
corrupted block at the end of every disc. According to the client Philips has
refused to fix it so they just pad all their data with a bunch of zero's before
ending the disc.
I found it while testing their disc before I sent if for mass replication.
When I called they told me the story. I asked why they didn't replace it and
they said they couldn't find anyone who'd buy it because of the problem.
I agree in general terms that Philips makes a good product but…. as you know
I was also subject to one of their recorders that didn't work.

Jerry,
If it doesn't make good discs, then the $XK they spent on it made it pretty
expensive, not cheap, right?
Kathy
Man I didn't know I was going to create such a comotion, I was just looking for
some help. Next thing you know I'll be getting a butt chewing from Phillips
about a "Cheap CD recorder". Thanks for all your responses. I ended up doing
what you suggested anyway and gave the disk to a CD recording company locally
and there looking into the problem and burning me a new one with the files they
can recover. I think it's like Jerry said that the drive puts a bad block at
the end of the disk, because they had some difficulty reading it also but they
finally about to with some drive they had. Thanks again.
