Bill,

I did a little research on possibilities. I does appears that some UDF
formatted disk may not be read with Win 7/8 due to either the format of
lack of close session on disk. Many have reported the same problem but
no solution. Win 7 pack 1 may have solved some of the problems but not
all. I'll continue to investigate and report later.
