Open up computer; put cables back to where they were originally. Boot up. Primary drive ROM works again. RW drive still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas? A summary of my symptoms: A. Device manager says RW is working ok. Put disk into RW tray. Click on RW drive from Windows explorer. Right-hand side of explorer indicates the disk is empty.

Click on ROM drive from Windows explorer. Right-hand side of explorer shows all the files in the root directory of the CD.

Directcd format and the data format is different as far as I know if you want to reformat the cd-rw disk you will have to use the Directcd program. You may have saved your files using the data format but closed the session the direct cd does not close the session allowing you to drag and drop the files.

I would copy the info on cd using the rom drive then take the cd-rw and click on directcd software look for tools and reformat disk so that you can use the drag and drop features that directcd canoffer you make sure directcd is running in the system tray as it has to be running in the backround.
