Right I burnt some security programs to CD.....visited a relation....popped the CD in his PC....but alas I could not see the programs on the CD.......is it a permission's thing ?....I could'nt be a*rsed to mess about at the time.

Could it be that the CD wasn't finalised and/or made accessible to other users.

Sometimes when I burn CD's and leave them 'open' (not finalised) when I use them on friends CD drives (normal ones not CDRW), they can see the files.

Just a Thought!

It could also happen if the other pc wasnt on XP or if the cd drive is an old one

It was a new Tosh laptop running XP.......I think DJ's explination is were the prob may lay.......as when I finish burning and Nero asks me if I wish to save the changes ....I say no..........like I say I can see the progs on the CD when its in my PC

Some drives can read unfinalised discs, and some can't - so I would also agree with that theory.
