Re: SyncToy 1.4 and Packet Writing Software (InCD, DLA etc)

all of the packet writing stuff is slightly different, there is not a
precise standard. it is possible that microsoft can establish one, but that
would be a long time off. And microsoft is hoping to upgrade you to Vista,
not give you stuff for free.

The problem is that Roxio DLA/SyncToy doesn't seem to be compatible with
LFS.
If I write all my folders and files to my DVD-RAM disk on the XP machine
using Roxio DLA then initially the Vista machine (using LFS) will read it.
But once I use SyncToy on the XP machine to update any changed files onto
my
DVD-RAM disk then they become unreadable on the Vista machine... The
folders
that contain any updated files appear as empty???? Any idease why this
might
be happening?

And hence my question about LFS being available on XP...

Cheers

Hi

There was a post about this in 2005 but nothing of late... To transfer
files
between office and home I use a DVD-RAM disk and SyncToy 1.4. Running
on
Windows XP, If I use the DLA packet writing software (by Roxio/Sonic)
all
is
well. However if I use Nero's InCD packet writing software then there
are
problems... it still thinks files need syncing even after I just
synchronised
them!

All was well till I upgraded my home computer which came with Windows
Vista,
and Vista has its own native packet writing software called 'Live File
System' (LFS). Now the LFS doesn't read my DVD-RAM disk if formatted
with
DLA (on work XP machine) but does read it if formatted with Nero
InCD!!!!

Will Microsoft make their LFS software available for XP Users???
