IBM LAPTOP COMPUTERS CD RW
CD written on Windows XP will not open in Windows XP on different computer?
I just wrote two separate CDs with the same information on both of them from a Dell desktop computer with Windows XP, using the Windows CD-RW writing program (where you drag whatever you want into the file area and then finalize the CD). When I tried to use either of these CDs in my IBM Thinkpad laptop w/ XP, the D: (CD) drive comes open but the “CD” shows up blank. When I put them in the F: (CD) drive of my Dell they show up fine.
What is the problem and is there any way for me to fix it?
They both have XP home edition.
It’s not the finalizing of the CD I’m having problems with; I don’t care to put any new info on the CD. It’s just that it will read on one computer and not the other.
The CD in question is a Memorex 700 Mb CD-R
I have a CD burning program on my Windows 2000 pro machine that requires that I take a step called “finalizing” the CD which completes the writing, and makes it so no new info can be recorded onto the CD. That might be something to check.
