I can't open Roxio Easy CD Creator Cds on my Macbook

If you can see files, then you're obviously able to read the disk. The problem appears to be that your files are stored some kind of Windows file format. An exe file is either a Windows executable or a self-extracting zip file. I wasn't able to find anything on a zi file; perhaps you meant 'zip'? If you really have a 'zi' file, this might have been created by the SOBIG virus, as it had a bug that improperly named zip files with a 'zi' extension. An inf file is usually either an autorun.inf file, which is a Windows-only file which causes an application to launch when a CD is inserted, or else a configuration file for a Windows installer.

Thanks. Is there anything I can do to convert or open
the files?

I looked up the .zl file extension and found that it
was a unknown or unassigned file extension (according
to file-extensions. org).

I can open the files on my pc.

If your exe is a self-extracting zip file, then you can use File Juicer to try and get the files out of it. StuffIt might be able to open them as well.

Next time, don't do whatever you did to put all your pictures into that exe.

Rather than using CDs I suggest you purchase an inexpensive, faster and resuable USB jump drive such as this one <http://www.microcenter.com/single product_results.phtml?productid=0237397>. They're Mac and Windows compatible and a 1GB drive can hold more than a CD.

Compared to CDs jump drives have virtually no down side to them other than an insignificant up-front cost.

Hope this helps!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,

have a look at DeepBurner Free for Windows: http://www.deepburner.com/

It is free and unlike CD Creator does not 'force' you into using Windows-specific-formats.
