| look at your autorun file and see if you are not giving it the instruction to look at drive f: |
| No, no reference is made to any drive in the autorun file that's the part I can't figure out.......... |
| Strange. The instruction to look for a specific drive has to be given to the machine and it seems logical you could find it in the disc. Otherwise, it would require your pc to have a default causing that behaviour... sorry no further clue. |
| No refererence is made to the F: drive in my autorun file, but I did manage to do a search on the cd and found that all the files in the directory are referenced by eg F:file folder etc. Can that reference be taken out of the cd or is it the way I burned it. I'm fairly new at this, as you can probably tell. Thanks |
| When you are organizing your burning session you shall do it in a way the discs doesn't keep this kind of refs to a drive. Usually your burning software can add the files and avoid this. If you drag and drop them instead, you may risk keeping a ref (that depends on the packages you use). So better to use the "add files" facility to build the project. Other possibility is that your autorun triggers a file that calls for the ref. Anyway - once having it on the CD, its there and if it is a write-once disc you have to make a new one. |
