SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You use the Mastered file system format to copy files to a CD or to a DVD on a Windows Vista-based computer. You click Burn to disc on the toolbar to burn the files to the disc. Before the computer finishes burning the files to the disc, you put the computer to sleep. In this scenario, the disk creation does not finish after you wake the computer from sleep. You receive an error message that resembles the following:

There was an error burning this disc. The disc may no longer be usable.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not put the computer to sleep until the computer has finished burning the files to the disc.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
The Mastered file system format is used to create CDs and DVDs. Discs that you create by using the Mastered file system format are more likely to be compatible with older computers. The files are first stored in a temporary location on the hard disk. Then, an additional step is required to burn the collection of files to the disc at the same time. For the disc creation to be successful, you must not interrupt the final burning process before it finishes.
