Folks I tried to save some music in a DVD and now when I try to check the media contents all I have is a Desktop.ini file on it still the operating system reports the media to have the right amount of occupied space (there should be files which I cant see thou). I tried to burn it both in windows and linux still it does not work. Any ideas? Is my burner dying?
Is it "really" on the disk, or did Explorer just fake it for your convenience.
Perhaps check your burner setup to make sure it's writing the correct format. You might be burning a few hundred meg, but if you get the file system wrong it will just look like occupied space.
Music CDs are generally not browsable from a standard PC/filesystem standpoint so while your files may be on there, you may not be able to see them with a standard file browser. Desktop.ini is Win-specific so I don't know what that is doing there, it certainly doesn't belong on a music CD...hint: I would try looking at your output with a CD ripper or other tool designed for looking at music CDs. Also, does your output play in a standard (non-PC) CD player?
