dvd writing problem

[chunky love]

Hello everyone

My freind has asked me to post this question for him, to see if anyone can help with it;

He was trying to copy a backup of a dvdr on his P.C. The disc he was copying created a 'J' drive on his computer. He now cant copy anything and If he deletes the J drive, the computer shuts down and re-boots. any help would be appreciated thanks.:)

What software is he using..recordnow...nero..etc

Hi Mr Snatcher

Ive just spoken to him, and he tells me he was using Pinnacle Instant copy, but also he has been using a few others (that he cant remember the names of)

He says the main problem is the J drive that the film he was coping created (he hasnt got a J drive) and since this has appeared on his computer none of the programmes work? Sorry I cant be more indepth.

[Mr Snatcher]

That would be an image drive created by pinnacle. I know you said dvdr, but he is using instant copy to copy the original then to dvdr? I havent used that prog in a long time. My opinion..he should just remove instant copy and use dvdshrink. By removing IS it should remove the image drive too.

Cheers Mr Snatcher, I'll pass that on. He was making a copy but not from an original.
Thanks alot for your help.

If he was going to make a copy of a copy (dvdr to dvdr) then he doensn't need to use pinnacle. Use DVDdecrypter to rip the dvd to iso and burn the iso.
By the way, it's free!
