When I copy .txt and .c files from my linux partition to my C (Windows) drive, and then burn them on a CD in Windows, those .txt and .c files no longer work on linux. Can s.o tell me why is that so and how can I solve this problem without having to type it again in linux.
Since I can't see the files I'm guessing, but if the line endings in the files get converted to MS-DOS (carriage return/line feed) that can affect whether they operate properly under Linux.
To avoid it, can you burn the CD under Linux? If not, can you create the ISO under Linux and copy the ISO to Windows?
You've guessed right about what happens to the files..no, I can't burn under linux..how do I create the iso files under linux; what configurations/software do I have to use?
You could also take a look at the man pages for the utilities dos2unix and unix2dos which will convert between the end-of-lines used by dos and unix (linux) and vice versa. This would mean that you do not have to re-burn your CD.
