XP Professional to XP Home

[Guest]

I have a photo CD (Data disc) recorded with Windows XP Professional; I cannot
open it in either my E: or F: drives (HP Pavilion792c w/XP Home operating
system). The CD opened on a different computer that also had Windows XP
Professional.

What can I do to access this CD & download the photos to my hard drice (C?

============================
What happens when you attempt
to view the contents of the CD?

Do you receive erors? What are they?

If you go to...My Computer and right click
the icon for your CD Drive...can you choose
Explore from the menu and view the contents
of the disk?

My computer does recognize ANY data on the disc & doesn't even show any
capacity on the disc (right click on drive w/disc inserted). Open, explore,
etc. returns the prompt "insert disk in drive" although disc already prresent.

Was the disk created on the computer that can view the files?
Was the disk finalized when it was recorded?
If the disk was created on the other computer then the disk was
probably not finalized and would only be viewable on the computer that
created the disk.

Thanks Paul --- it turned out the disc was not finalized.
