Backup CD not recognized


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the extraordinarily simplistic question here, but I think I'm missing something. I'm doing a little test run of my new Retrospect software, and while burning a backup CD of my HD volume went very smoothly, when I try to restore from this CD to another computer, the other computer wants to initialize this CD. I understand that the CD won't mount like other CDs on the desktop, but even when I've copied the backup catalog to this other computer and am actively running Retrospect on it before I put the CD in, the other computer still gives me the "Eject" or "Initialize" options for the backup CD. Somehow, the computer is intervening before Retrospect gets a chance to "see" the backup CD. I don't have this problem when I do the same thing on the original computer that the CD is backing up. But isn't the point to be able to back up to an entirely different drive in case one fails? I know I'm missing something very obvious here, but I just can't quite figure it out. Help, anyone??

 

Thanks!

 

A Newbie
