james_hardin Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 What kind of media are you using? How were they written? That is a very old burner which cannot read most of the newer media. That is why we need the info about the media and how it was written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu5s4ic Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 What version of Roxio software do you have? first, thanks for your reply--- The CDs are Maxells 700 mb. They were burned with some ?Easy CD Creator? software that came with my WinME (before I upgraded to XP) on this computer. But, even if I "write the disks using ROXIO", the mediaCD still appears as "blank CD" when I try to read it back. Do you think the CD drive itself is old and is not working properly with XP now? Much appreciated- Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_hardin Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Are they R or RW media? IF RW what is the speed? Is there any chance you wrote them using Drag to Disc or DirectCD? (packet writers) If you cannot tell us more info on HOW you wrote them, we cannot help – no crystal balls around my desk… Discs are read the Operating System. Discs written by Classic are usually written using CDFS. CDFS is timeless and discs written with that are readable in any PC from Win3.x to Vista!

Brendon Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 But, even if I "write the disks using ROXIO", the mediaCD still appears as "blank CD" when I try to read it back. Do you think the CD drive itself is old and is not working properly with XP now? Can you read anything on that drive? Commercially pressed discs? Anything? If not, the drive is very unwell.
