Vista Explorer V XP Explorer

[Tazzieone]

I burned data from my XP installation prior to installing Vista Home 32bit. I checked that the data on my backups were readable using Nero. Now I have 2 programs I want to intall on my Vista, but Vista says it cannot read the files on the backup CD. I am able to see that the files are there as I can get their size.

Any help to this would be very much appreciated.

Thanx
Tazzieone

try copying the data to the hard drive from the cd then try running again.

Gee thanks Demonseed, I guess I didn't think of that....! The problem is that when I go to copy the file from the CD to Hard Drive I get the message that Windows Explorer (Vista) is unable to access the file on the CD.
I have tried isoBuster to copy from the CD with the same result. The thing is I am able to get a file size (267bits) from the CD, so there is a viable file on the CD...just unable to get to it in Vista ot isoBuster. any idea of another program that may be able to access this file?

Thanks 4 your help
Tazzieone.

Did you try right clicking and do a 'Send to' the hard drive ?

I have had that work for copying files when other means failed.
