>>Subject: Format of CD-R and CD-RW?

My CD-ROM drive can read data in a CD-R disc perfectly but it cannot
read anything in a CD-RW disc burned from the same CD-RW drive. Dose
CD-R and CD-RW Disc has different format? How could I make my CD-ROM
reading both?

Thank you!!

Stephen,

CD-RW disks operate at a lower reflectance level than CD-R and CD-ROM disks.
Older CD-ROM drives often will not be able to read CD-RW disks for this
reason.

There is a lot of information on various problems with CD-R and CD-RW drives
at the sites of leading drive manufacturers.

Take a look at: http://listserv.adaptec.com/

I hope these references are helpful to you.

Best wishes,
Bob LaSalle
