CD writer works, but cd's unreadable

[ahc142a]

I have a dual boot system, 2000 Pro & XP. It seems i can write to a CD in both systems, & can then read stuff from the CD in both systems on this computer. However, when i try to view the info on that CD on another computer, Nothing. i.e other computers are saying that there is nothing on that computer. Could anyone please explain why ?

Is the CD a CDRW?

You know, i don't really know !! if by the CD you mean the actual disc; all it says on there is CD-R:700MB. As for the actual dirve it self, that is a LG 32X10X40X CD RW. I hope that makes sense.

Are you writing data or music or what? Did you close the session when you wrote the CD-R? "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."

Some older CDROM's (and some of the newer cheaper ones) do have trouble reading CDR media, especially CDRW.

Like said above make sure you close the session as thats often a cause.
