Turned off computer, unplugged them, rebooted, turned off computer, reattached dvd drives (figured they'd reinstall as new),restarted and...windows drive gives disk error. Long story short, windows methods of recovery useless, ended up full reinstall. Good thing real files are on storage drives. Still, takes about 2hrs to put apps, drivers back. Rich, why don’t you post your Windows bitching, and stuff to a Windows NG where it belongs, not to r.p.d. where it is off topic? The last time you did this on October 8, the result was a major pollution of 296 OT posts in r.p.d., and your only post in the thread was the first one. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I agree in general, but DC/DVD drives are something photographers might use, aren't they? -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

I agree in general, but DC/DVD drives are something photographers might use, aren't they? why would they? the capacity is too small to be useful, they're slow and the ever growing stacks of discs quickly becomes unmanageable. it's much easier, more flexible and *far* more convenient to use a nas. |

That's because OT crap gets a lot of traction in this newsgroup.

What they have is *Free* Capture One Express Fujifilm which is not fully featured, and which i have been playing with. Then there is the fully featured Capture One Pro Fujifilm $199. https://www.phaseone.com/en/Capture-One/Capture-One-Fujifilm.aspx There is also a Sony only version. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The last time I used a Windows machine was at work in February 2009, and then I retired. The comments seem to be about archiving files, and that's not the only purpose of using a CD or DVD. They are quite useful for sharing files where you want to either mail the files to the other party or give the other party a batch of files for the other party to view but not to download. There are other ways to do this, but that doesn't mean that there aren't times a CD or DVD is a convenient way to go. One grandson recently made a movie using my copy of Premier Elements and burned six copies to discs for his friends and handed them out at school. It was a very topical movie, so the friends will view and not download and can share that disc with others. It's like many other things: what we do, or don't do, personally doesn't mean it isn't useful for others. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

You know what some of the most reliable storage has proven to be? magnetic TAPE. Where do you come up with your strange ideas regarding what you think *us people* believe? I have redundant HDD & SSD backups along with various cloud, and online services such as Dropbox, iCloud, Adobe CC, and SmugMug none of which is a solitary repository of any of my image files. cloud services provide one means of back-up, and/or sharing, but they also provide additional capability the least of which is the ability to seamlessly sync between computers and mobile devices. I sometimes wonder about you, Duck. You have a top-of-the-line Mac, no appreciable chance of a virus, and sixty-two back-up systems.
