I have been scanning photos with Picture It and saving them onto a RW-CD.
After getting tower back from additional RAM installed in the shop, I can't
access the photos.

Error Message: Attempting to change to directory E: gave unexpected error
code 1005.

Can't save onto a CD, same error message.

By default the cdrom or rw should be D: Where did E: come from.If youve
added hds or changed the default letter of the cdrw,then you must edit that
in the registry also.Go to run,type:regedit
Expand:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/softwar-
e/microsoft/windows/setup,open source path.L.click on the text
"installation" go
to edit,modify,change from D: To the letter in my computer,exit.L.click
source
path the same,exit registry when thru.

Hi Noble,

Code 1005 didn't bring forth a cornucopia of answers, so as long as this
situation correlated to the time you brought your machine in, have those
guys look at it. After all, it's possible they are the ones that "mucked"
it up.

E: is the drive it's always been. D: is labeled recovery on my computer, E:
is labeled CD-RW and F: is DVD. Thanks.

And, I may have to take it back to the shop, it's just it is 1/2 hour drive
on a good day and I am disabled and have trouble carrying it to the car.

more on the same question.
Before I came here to this forum and read that you can't format CD in XP and
also before I took my computer in for more RAM, I had been able to format a
RW-CD and to save scanned photos onto it. I had also been able to open that
CD and send a photo (insert photo) into an email.

I was able to go to My Computer and format the disc. I don't know why since
you all say it isn't possible in XP, but I swear I did it and also saved onto
it after it was formatted.

Now, I get a message that my CD is corrupted. Is there some way to get the
photos back long enough to copy them on my hard drive or use the RecordNow
feature of XP and make a CD I can use?
