    Close or finalize a CD or DVD

    Before you can use a recordable disc (such as CD - R, DVD-R or DVD + R) formatted with the live file system format in other computers and devices, you must close the current disc session to prepare the disk to use. By default, Windows closes your disc automatically when it is ejected.

    To close a disc automatically

    • Press the eject button on the drive of your computer.

      Windows automatically closes the current session. This consumes 20 megabytes (MB) of disk space and can take several minutes.

    To stop closing discs automatically

    1. Click to open the computer.

    2. Right click on the drive icon that represents your writeable drive, and then click Properties.

    3. Click the recording tab, and then click global settings.

    4. Clear the automatically close the UDF session when the disc is ejected check.

    To close a disc manually

    1. Click to open the computer.

    2. Right click on the drive icon that represents your writeable drive, and then click close session.

    Once the disc is ejected, the session will be closed and the disc can be used in other computers and devices.

    Notes

    • After you close a disc session, you can still add additional files to the disc, but you must close each additional session to be able to use the disc on another computer.

    • If you remove a disk from your computer without closing the disc session, you can close it at a later date. He can go back to the computer disk drive and follow the steps above to close the session.

    • Some programs might finalize your disc instead of closing the current session. You cannot add additional files on a disc that has been finalized.

  • How can I check the disc for physical integrity on Satellite P305?

    I have P305-S8838.

    I had some freezing problems earlier this month, and on the notice here, I nu start-up and reduced services a little at a time.
    Now, I have a few more crash but don't know if it's a physical disk problem.

    For example... I have run CHKDSK and does many things and happens at the exact same spot and hangs at step 4 file 5 3498 or 421168 processed.

    I tried to run CHKDSK in SafeMode but tells me drive is locked and it will run when I restart. But the restart put back me in normal mode and get the same hang.

    Now, for more suspicion of a physical problem. I tried to make a disk image with ACronis and same problem occurs because he says impossible to reading data 226 964, 072 sector and ask if I want to ignore and continue. I say yes to everything. Log shows he made about three of these attempts and crashes.

    I ran sfc/scannow and it says found problems that he was unable to fix. The newspaper isn't so long and complex course that all means. I could send these log files if someone can help me understand.

    I ran the test of memory OK.

    I if I could put in DVD Toshiba and certain diagnoses, but when I put in the disk I get this big warning I'll crush, etc and I have chicken.

    This didn't stop me to use the computer, but its all irritating.

  • How do I unlock "the disc has a bad block"?

    "My computer information" error log has about 200 "legacy - disc - has a bad block."

    I did Defrag, disk cleanup and eraced of things that I don't use much

    I think that the block of 'bad' is interfering with "Outlook Express" also

    Select Start, run, type cmd and press ENTER. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" without the quotes and press ENTER. Make sure you include the spaces indicated. Enter Y when asked if you want to run chkdsk on restart the computer. Quit and then restart the computer.

    Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

    If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

    However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.

  • Engraving/finalize the disc

    Is is possible to burn stuff on a dvd and then burn more to him later? I don't have a need to access the disc/content between the two.

    I tried pre burn any material on a bunch of disks to save time when I finished the disks at a later date.

    Can still burn documents on the disc, let it open, then burn more and complete it later? If not, the recommended programs?

    Thank you.

    Not possible with yet. I mean that's not material possible technique the regular DVD. The structure of the DVD should include specific elements (of things such as "program chains") and the program would have to know the final structure to "plan" the preliminary structure.

    But DVDItPro or somesuch program previous Sonic had an "Open" structure option that allowed you to edit the DVD at a later stage. But he did not provide what you want: a way to burn a disc with only part of the project. Or is it?

    Several burners is the solution to your dilemma!

  • Windows 8 how burn pictures on the disc please?

    Hello

    I just upgraded to Windows 8 and I found it very handy until I have came to burn pictures on a disc, can not find how do.

    It is said that they are ready to burn, but does not give you a link.

    In the drop-down action menu it says burn to disc, but when I click it a window appears but nothing happens?

    Ta!

    If you're still having problems with this, or someone else who has difficulties, it's a simple solution.

    I had trouble too and found this site to answer my question... which none of the answers helped. Once I figured out I thought I might as well try to help my fellow burners. :)

    When the screen appears and says that they are waiting to be burned or are ready to burn it you go to 'Manage' in the upper left corner. Until it clicks. A toolbar appears at the bottom, and tools will tell 'Finish burning' (or something to that effect.) Until it clicks.

    A pop up should you name the CD. Appoint you. And bam. It burns the CD and he jumps right out when it's over.

    Really simple just really hidden.

    I hope this helps! If I need to be more detailed please answer, I would be happy to help in anyway.

  • Media Player 11 will not burn audio CDs. He will prepare the burn list, write the first song on the disc then finalize the disc then error code appears and the disc is completely clean

    Media player 11 burn cd audio ive started imapi services, I tried different brands of CD and tried to install and run the microsoft fix it tool and get the error unable to install the problem has occurred please try again later but tried several times. Help!

    Hello lauraleeshook,

    Since you've already tried the FIXIT, I suggest that you reinstall Windows Media Player 11, as seems to be corrupt. You can reinstall it on top of the old installation, except if the installation requires that you uninstall.

  • How to finalize a disc (CD - R and DVD +/-R) using Windows?

    Hello:

    How to "finalize" a disc (CD - R and DVD +/-R) using Windows?

    I want to finalize the disc... not simply close the session/disc.

    What I read in the help Windows, "closing" allows me to write on the disc later.

    Is this true, if the disc is just R, RW not?

    I burned the JPEG images (.jpg files) on CD - R and DVD + R discs.

    When I try to read them in my Sony CD/DVD player, it does not recognize the discs.

    The Sony user manual said that records must be "finalized", not just "closed".

    What do you mean with Windows?

    I have treid finalize these discs with Roxio Creator Basic, but it does nothing, except eject discs.

    Windows has always said that disks have free space, and the DVD player is unable to recognize them.

    As I understand it, if the disc is finalized, will show him no available free space.  Is this correct?

    Note: The discs work fine on my HP laptop which uses Vista 32 bit Home Premium.  I can see JPEG images.

    Thank you...
