writing .NEF files to cd

Hi Guys,

I don't seem to be able to store the raw (.NEF) files from my Nikon

D100 onto cd. Am I missing something? XP throws up an errow message whenever I try to copy them over.

The only way I have been able to do it so far is to first winzip all the files. But, this is an extra step that I'd like to avoid.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, John

Hi!

Could be that it's because the D100 is a removable media. Try to copy the images to a directory on a built in hard disk and move it to the CD from there. WinXP doesn't "copy" the images to the CD when you drag them but later on when you decide to start the actual writing process.

It therefore needs some extra data stored somewhere to handle the directory info etc. This may cause troubles on removable media, also because the files to be written might be unaccessible (removed media!) when you start writing to the CD.
