Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / July 2006Viewing UDF
Hi, I inserted a disc into my drive and found this readme.txt on it: ==== This disc uses the UDF file system. You are currently looking at the ISO 9660 part of this disc. To read the content of this disc you have to install an UDF file system reader. For Windows 95 please run the program 'AUTORUN.EXE' from the root directory of this disc. ==== How can I switch to the UDF part? Thanks, Jan > Hi, > I inserted a disc into my drive and found this readme.txt on it: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks, Jan Hello Jan; Just a guess here, but you transferred the file to a DVD. What you are supposed to do is "Burn the image" to a DVD. Consult your DVD software for how to do this. Also, check this website for more information about using an unstable, incomplete operating system. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx > Hello Jan; > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx Hi Mark, thanks for the guess, but I didn't burn this CD-RW, I just wanted to read it. I expected that when Vista can write UDF it could also read or switch to UDF when present. Jan This is easy. Install Windows XP SP2 on an empty system where there is no "Program Files", "Windows", or "Documents and Settings" directories. Look at the DVD. Do not install any product from Nero, Roxio, or Sonic Solutions - that also includes any CD and/or DVD creation software bundled by HP, IBM, Compaq, Dell, etc. > Hi, > I inserted a disc into my drive and found this readme.txt on it: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks, Jan > This is easy.

Jan Haven't tried UDF on Vista myself, but if the software on your Disc won't run, maybe you need the latest version Go to "http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/udf/software_updates.html" and download the UDF reader from there. It doesn't say if it is compatible with Vista >> This is easy. Install Windows XP SP2 on an empty system where there is >> no "Program Files", "Windows", or "Documents and Settings" directories.

A UDF disk created by Roxio's or Nero's UDF driver requires the reader be installed. They both use non-standard variations of UDF and are incompatible with Vista's for the moment. I quit using UDF for my own CDs and DVDs as it seemed to cause more problems than it solved. >> This is easy.

(Oh wait, then Adobe might sue). >I was assuming this was one of the new Vista DVDs. A UDF disk created by >Roxio's or Nero's UDF driver requires the reader be installed.
