When I burn a CROM windows 10 then opens the drive but then puts up a message telling me to insert the CDROM again !
Windows 8.1 never did that.
Windows 8.1 never did that.
did you burn it as a bootable iso ? or did you just copy the file to the cd ? Why not make a bootable USB stick..
And i think you meant dvd not cd rom..
I just copied the files to the CDROM then burned them.
I am sending out CDROM's to customers as they are cheaper than USB stick
It has worked well since 2006, I rarely get a bad CDROM.
Sold about 1500 copies.
I verify them before I send them out to be sure.
Nigel could you please clarify. You are NOT sending burned copies of windows 10 out to customers on cdrom??? Tony.
Tony.
^^ didn't he just say that, and that he sells them too...
Nigel sells PCB design software. It is conceivable his comment about reliability of CDROM was in reference to all the coppies of hsi software he has sold. Hence asking for clarification. He said he has been doing it since 2006 😉
Tony.
Tony.
Then i apologize 🙂 i miss red his post, he's asking about why his windows machine isn't burning the cd's not that his windows 10 cd's aren't working 🙂
Nigel, sorry 🙂
when you are done burning are you verifying and closing the session ?
Yes I close the session and Windows 10 opens the drive but then asks me to insert the CDROM again.
I am not sending out Windows 10, there is no way it would fit on a CDROM as it is gigabytes and CDROM holds about 720MB.
I was trying to be careful and not advertise a company product hence not mentioning my own software.
His post made perfect sense to me, why would you think he was burning Windows 10 cd's??
@Nigel the ejecting/reloading the CD is normal when verify is enabled as it ensures the drive has been reset after a burn operation. Its gets a bit annoying on laptop drives that are unable to close themselves automatically. ...or if you set a cup of coffee in front of the CD drive 🙂

Wife has been running W10 since it came out, 2 months? Haven't had that happen yet. That would totally **** me off and since I wrote winpoem back in 95 I have never trusted Mr Gates. My PC's have always had problems.

Green for the billions of dollars I have made.

If he didn't use a microsoft account like outlook or hotmail this wouldn't happen. When you have a local account it won't happen. 🙂 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Jason - I do bookkeeping and payroll in a business environment in which the accounting software - Quickbooks Enterprise, the best off the shelf solution we've found to those needs in over 20yrs- integrates tightly and seamlessly with the MS Office suite.
We have some very expensive industry specific CADCAM software- (total cost of approx $4500 CDN per annum ), and none of it works as relatively trouble-free as the Windows & MS Office products.
While I happen to use Thunderbird on my iMac at home, we have no operating problems with e-mail at work that are not directly related to issues with either our ISP or internal network - or those few pernicious bits of mal-ware that sneak in.
As for running prior versions of Windows in a virtual machine, we do that on both a MacBook Pro (W7 in OS10 Yosemite via BootCamp) and on my own PC (XP in W7 to run a 20yr old CAD sketch program that still does all I need). In neither case do we find any deterioration in performance with both running together - although in the latter case, crossing between the two OS to find / directly transfer files is something I've not quite mastered yet.
So my point is that the MS software isn't a problem for us, but we won't be tripping over ourselves to upgrade the 5 networked PCs - even though that software is "free" - we have half a dozen local and networked printers that might cease to function, and as several of them are more than a couple of years old, driver upgrades might never arrive. Ran into that little bit of fun a few years ago with XP or 7, can't actually remember.
The peripheral manufactures must consider each new major MS OS upgrade such as this a double edge sword 😉😉 - I'll stick to two smilies this time

Scratching my head from where this came from but
If you are getting malware and viruses at work, then you should invest in a proper UTM firewall 🙂
Copying files from one os to another is pretty easy, if they are on same network use a NAS unit. If at home / work use dropbox google storage etc etc..
That was in response to your several comments in which I believe you denigrated or at least criticized e-mail programs without making a specific recommendation as to alternatives, and to suggest that there are lots of reasons why folks, particularly those in a business environment might stick with something that works for them. - i.e. W7 and MS Office
There is no such thing as an absolutely inviolable firewall or virus / malware protection.
The files I'm taking about transferring are on the same box, and for my own use, so external solutions would be rather pointless, no?
