"Folder Empty" with Vista from XP My Pictures
I've copied pictures from "My Pictures" with Windows XP to a CD that opens fine on my XP system. When I open up the same CD on my Vista laptop, while the properties shows the appropriate used volume of the disk, the folder shows "Folder Empty" when trying to view contents. I created several CD's of pictures following the same copy procedure and they all work fine but for some reason this folder always reads "Folder Empty"
Weird huh?
Any Ideas?

When you say copied, did you finalise the CD or leave it open.

Sometimes leaving it open (which I think is dangerous) only allows the CD to be viewed on the original machine.

Do ANY of the CD's you've made work on your Vista machine?

You could try something like Isobuster to extract the data from the CD directory structure.
