How do I execute "Files Ready to Be Written to Disk"

Anonymous

I burn an audio CD with Nero Burning ROM; it completes and verifies successfully.  But it doesn't play. The listing of the disc's contents includes, "Files ready to be written."  This was an obvious step in xP, but in 8.1 it not only isn't obvious, the execution is nowhere that I've been able to find.  I've seen other forum answers but have been unable to find one that works.

Can someone (MS staff?) help?

Thanks

Bob,

Thank you for the response.

You could try deleting any temporary files that may be left over from CD and DVD burning. Navigate to the hidden folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary Burn Folder and delete everything.

Now try to burn. Keep us posted.

    Finally I was able to burn to disc by going up one level!  Thank you.  I have worked with windows since day one and today I have decided it really stinks. So no Windows 10 for me - I'm going to Mac.

    Hi Anil,

    Thanks for your reply,

    To answer your questions:

    1. No, the problem has occurred with other discs;
    2. the same problem occurs on discs burned with Windows Media Player.

    The burned discs, whatever their source, include “Files Ready to Be Written to Disk” and a desktop.ini file that opens like a text file in Notepad.

    Does this help?

    Thanks.

    Bob
