Solve : Files that are copied from cd.......? |
|
Answer» Hi there! I had a question that I hope someone could help me with. Are all the files on your hard drive showing upper case or just those copied from the CD? Here's the answers in order of the questions: 1) Just the ones being copied from the cd to the hard drive are being capitalized. 2) If I rename the files, it sticks. 3) It happens with all cd's. 4) I copy the files within windows, and just drag them onto the desktop or any other place I put them on the pc. 5) I don't quite understand what you mean by mixed case. If you mean it looks like: "ShiN mEgAMi tEnSEi NoCtUrNe GaMeShARK CoDeS.txt", then no the filenames do not look like that on the cd. They look normal (lowercase), with usually the first letter in the filename being capitalized only. Quote
Just a quick addtion here. I have a windows explorer window open, or I double click "My Computer" on the desktop, and select the cd (drive) and then the folder on the cd with the contents I need to copy. I then just drag and drop the files needed to be copied. Quote
I just rechecked this and this is incorrect. The cd's this is happening on are CD-RW's that are used with Direct CD. The files on the cd's that are copied to the hard drive are having their filenames fully captitalized upon being stored on the pc. I did a test with a CD-R that was CREATED recently and when I transfer a file with that, the filename stays the same and isn't fully capitalized. Further, let's say I have a folder on one of the CD-RW's and there is a file in there. If I copy the folder over, the folder's filename will be fully capitalized upon being copied to the hard drive and the file's name in that folder remains normal. But if I just copy the file itself, then upon being copied the filename is fully capitalized when reaching the hard drive. I hope I haven't confused anyone. Good answers by the way. What software are you using to create the CD-RWs? I'm using Adaptec Direct CD. I can drag and drop files onto the cd this way as opposed to having to use a cd burning program to write over the cd only at one time.Is that an old version of Adaptec or a new one that Sonic produces for them? You need to CHECK your options in the CD writing software to determine things like file system, MODE, etc. It's Adaptec DirectCD version 3.0.And I don't use cd writing software for the CD-RW's, so there aren't any options to alter at all. I format them using Adaptec Direct CD v3.0 and then just drag and drop files onto the cd using windows explorer.What results do you get if.You open the data cd<right -click on cd disk > with something like notepad..........wordpad.....word..etc. .you could edit them.........and them send them to say my documents>>etc...Well, I tried that and what ever the original file is named as is EXACTLY as it is saved to the hard drive. So that METHOD DOES work, but is impractical for multiple files if you have to save them all that way to prevent the error from occuring, and I have a cd FULL of .txt files and that would take ages to fix that way. Also, for files that cannot be opened by notepad such as .zip, .rar, .exe etc you couldn't use the above method, but just a similar one specific to the files themselves, I suppose. |
