Recognising blank CD-ROMs and DVD_ROMS

2 New Member
Using the vb6 commands I (IsReady? or GetDiskspace) I can not get the reply disc ready so I can write to the cd. I can recognise a CD-ROM with data already stored on it and can read the data but cannot recognise a blank formatted disk.Help

I am creating a CD-ROM based website template. Things work fine under Windows but when I try to run the site under Linux the path is messed up. Therefore my JavaScript functions misinterpret the root to be the root of the filesystem instead of the root of the cd. Any cd I make will need to run on Windows and Linux systems and the filesystems and the way the cd's are mounted are always different. For example: Windows root path for a...

Hey folks, I'm new to this malarky, but I can't find anywhere an example of programmatically recognising which tab a user has clicked. I know it's something to do with the SelectedIndex property of the tab object, but I can't get it into an "if" statement without it complaining. Here's what I have... private void fclsTabs_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

What I'd like to do is write a piece of C code that inputs to the pro- gram a line written to a file. The Java code written below does exactly what I want; it writes the <String"ab cd" to file "Java.Txt" and then reads it back in to variable...

Having installed a new Sony AWG 170A DVD/CD drive I found tha Windows XP would not recognise it as a recordable device. I changed the value data for the "Drive Type" in the registry to "2" ( CD-RW ) and this produced a "Recording " tab under CD drive (Properties) in My Computer. When I try to burn a CD-R or RW disk, I am asked to insert a blank disk even after doing so! Any suggestions? -- zylog

Hi. I have a Sony VAIO desktop with Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D drive with 5.1.2535.0 driver. I can play DVDs and CDs and write to regular blank CDs, but cannot get it to recognize either blank DVDs or blank CD-RW disks. Note that my other Sony VAIO laptop has same problem. They are both running WinXP. Thx for any help. Bob

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
