When I put in a DVD Data Disk that I made in Windows XP into my Vista
laptop, I noticed that when using Windows Explorer in Vista 90% of the files
were not showing on the DVD disk !!! What am I doing wrong? Why can't I see
the rest of the files? None of these files are hidden in XP. I have Vista
set to show all files. There were no error messages when using the DVD Disk.
I even tried turning off UAC in Vista, but no more files were visible.

Anyone know why I can't see the rest of the files?

If you made the disk as user "Fred" with password "Password" try
creating the same user and password on the Vista machine and see if that
helps any. Obviously sign on as that user to try reading it...

Wait to see if you get any other answers first of course.
