I take a lot of pictures and a significant portion of my workflow for processing them involves loading them onto my laptop, organizing them into folders, burning them onto a blank DVD as a back up and then transferring them to my main computer (which I do all my editing on) via the DVD. I've been doing this for the past 5+ with no problems up until now. Starting a day or two ago I can't seem to copy the contents of any of my burned DVD-Rs to my computer without getting one of these two error messages:
-or-
The copying process goes smoothly for the first 2 or so gigs (out of ~4) and the disc spinning can be heard but then it goes silent and the copying goes much slower, eventually stopping entirely and giving me one of those errors. I googled both error messages but couldn't find much that applied to my situation (copying files from dvd-rs to a desktop) and I'm not sure what they mean or what to do about them. Any help would be much appreciated!
(Btw, OS is Windows XP Pro SP 2)
