[Katti]

Allright. I have tried to play cd-rw discs with my other computer where is cd-r drive. And it can't play it property. Do you know any program what would help with it that it could to play it with it? I have win 98 for now though i hope to get more better windows in future.

how old is the cd-rw drive

[Katti]

It is really new. I was bought it about four month ago. And this cd-r drive is really old.

Some players are incompatible with certain kinds of discs, it's not the content of the disc but the disc itself. You won't find this problem with most new players but mostly on older players.

oops I meant CD-R

If they're really old sometimes they don't play CD-RW's

[Katti]

Then it must be like that. It is old, too old for my good. Then i must to use these stupid cd-r discs with it. I really hate it when i can't remove these files anymore while i have borned it for another computer. And now it isn't good time for buy anything new cd-drive.

You can try that but remember to "finalize" the cdr as it's possible it won't read a cdr either and finalizing helps some of the older drives.

At least it can read without Finalizing for cr-r discs. It would be pretty bad if it couldn't, don't you think? But, i just thought, could it be possible that if i finalizing cr-rw disc's before i try if it read it, perhaps it could then read it. I don't remember if i have tried that before.

[Katti]

That was helped. If i finalizing that cd-rw disc's then it read it. Though it take while that i can remove these burned files, but still i don't have to buy new disc so often anymore.
