    Hey I am running Vista 64 under bootcamp. I made a CD with my Vista 64 desktop machine so I could transfer some files to my MBP Vista 64 partition but when I put the CD in my MBP it shows no files.

    I look at properties and the disk is not empty...it shows 550MB used...but theres no way for me to see these files.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    Did you finalize the CD burn?
    What brand CDs are you using? I know some people have reported that some drives don't like all black cds from memorex.

    The CD I used is a HP invent cd-r 52X

    After writing the files on my vista desktop, that system can see the files etc and the cd is finalized. When I take it to my mac running vista the drive cant see the files but it knows half the disc has been used.

    Try using a USB drive or external HD if possible to transfer your data. I wish I could be of more help...
