Follow Up Post Out of desperation I copied all my program files that I would need to get XP going from the rewriteble disks and put them on another computers hard drive. This included my AT & T software, favorites, address book,etc. I then used Roxio on that computer to burn the files onto a CD. I then put the burned in CD into the computer with XP and try to copy the AT & T software to the hard drive for installation. Guess what, no good says the file is not a win32 file and will not copy. Try to run off CD and get same message. This Xp is a bigger piece of s*** then the previous versions. One has to go to rocket science classes just to get the thing working. Looks like I may have to reformat the 60 gig drive into 2 partitions and install Win ME since this XP is just not worth the aggrevation, nothing seems to work.

Have new clean install of XP Pro using NTFS file sytem on 60 gig drive,was formatted for 1 partition of C. All my programs I need to install were created with Roxio (POS) software. I have tried countless times to install Roxio 5.0 Platinum with all the upgrades as per instructions from Roxio as well as advice offered on this board. All have failed, I can't even get on the internet since my AT&T software is on a rewriteable disk and XP can't read it. I never had a problem with Win ME with this software. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can have XP read a rewriteable disk. Did a search and found udfreadr 5.01 is installed on the machine yet it can't read the contents of any rewriteable I insert. When I install the Roxio Direct CD only it says my CD writer is not supported, yet it was supported in Win ME, go figure. f***ing Roxio ruined a good company when they bought Adaptec. I am so fed up since I have spent about 20 hours on this problem and can't proceed with my XP install. I tried installing the UDF reader by itself which I downloaded from Roxio but XP says no good even though it indicates it is presnt but obvoiusly not working.Please help, I am at the end of my rope.
