Can anyone advise me?
I have just installed a new 80GB hard drive in my PC and
performed a clean install of XP Pro.
I have a Jetway 266 motherboard and installed the onboard
sound drivers from the board CDROM using the D Drive and
all worked fine.
I am now trying to install my FU 661 Scanner. I have the
driver on a rewritable CDROM (UDF Formatted Using INCD
which comes with Nero) which I place it either the D or E
drive (Both of which would boot the XP Disc) which worked
for the XP Install. When I follow the Driver installation
wizard I tick the option D:"Include this Location in the
search",
I then get the error message, "The location specified
does not exist or cannot be reached" and have to abort
the procedure. When I check the device manager the
Scanner is recognised but informs me that the driver is
not installed.
What have I over looked here?

Nero is or isn't reinstalled?

XP may not be able to read a CD written in packet format (UDF, directCD,
INCD, DLA, etc), unless compatible software is installed on the PC. Worse,
these formats are not all mutually readble. Worse, yet, some of them have
changed within a given software package from version to version.

At this point your best bets are (1) install the latest version of Nero and
hope that fixes things. (2) If not Nero, try a freeware program called
ISOBUSTER. It can read a CD in multiple ways, bypassing the XP reading
routines. Frequently it can extract data from an otherwise unreadbale CD.

In the future, save important data in a more universal format, such as
Joliet. That is, write a normal CD-R, or treat a CD-RW as if it were a
normal CD-R. (If CD-RW, you can erase it later to reuse it.) As always, be
sure to "close" or "finalize" the CD, if you want to read it in a normal CD
reader.
