I received a CD-R from DOT that contains road plans. Each sheet is saved as a TIFF file. The person at DOT got them from opened a couple of files from the disk on their computer and then handed it to me. When I got back to the office, I inserted it into my drive and nothing shows up. But I know the files are definelty on there. I am running Win XP Pro. I've never had a problem opening on viewing TIFF's before.
So I inserted the disk into my laptop that is running Win Vista. Same thing. It doesn't show any files on the disk. When I right-click the CD to check properties, it does show several megabytes are used. But it won't list any files.
Any thoughts?
Perhaps, just maybe, the disk was written with Roxio and not closed to be readable on computers without Roxio installed......
seen that happen before.
Try right-click then "Explore" on the disk icon.
That's a possibility. I'm not running Roxio on either computer. I'll call tomorrow to find out what program they used to burn the CD.
Trying to "explore" the drive just shows an empty screen, no files.
Seems like if you got "several" tiff sheets, they would be taking up more than a few meg?
Incorrectly burned CD. Sometimes you get what you want, sometimes you get a coaster. :-O
138 Megs.
Sounds like they burned it in multi-session mode and did not "finalize" the burn.
Check the options or file options of your picture reader.
Many times to save ram space, a program will reset to open only default value files.
Microsoft programs will do this at most every update.
Have you tried to open with Paint.
