I burned (in multiple sessions) a 650MB, 74 Min CD-RW CD which was and is readable on other Win 98/ME/2000 PCs. I add new folders and files to it from time to time.

My burner is an external "HP cd-writer 8200." The CD in question is a Sony 1X2X4 rewritable CD.

I've tried to read same on a Windows XP PC and cannot. A properties check of the CD on XP shows the CD is full. All that I can see on the CD with Windows XP Explorer is an autorun file.

THe CD can there be read and appended correctly on a Win 98/ME PCs.

What's going on here? Any ideas?
 
Some CD applications (such as the Easy CD Creator I'm forced to use at work) require a small program to be installed before the computer in question can read the OpenCD format. Is it possible that something like this is happening to you, and the program isn't installed on XP yet?
