Question

new system with gigabyte p35-ds3r MB.
clean install of XP-SP2 - nothing else.
does the same with things installed.
works fine on three other computers.
works fine with a third party explorer (Directory OPUS).

when I do a windows explorer search on the cd/dvd drive the results show me the files i searched located here
C:\Documents and Settings\....\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\(correct folder on CD drive)

If the file was in the root folder or inside a cab file it is shown correctly on the V: drive.

there is nothing in that CD Burning folder.
how do i fix this?

Answer 1

Have you done a scan disk with the "automatically fix file system errors" enabled? It might make you reboot and it'll run the scan before windows starts, but if there are some phantom files it could clean them up.
