My new XP Notebook came with the Cyberlink Power CD/DVD burner
program. Works well. But the disks are not readable on my Win98SE PC
using the EZCD program. That also works well. The same thing with
CD's made with EZCD. they are not writeable on the Notebook. The
error messages say wrong format.

What bothers me is that the Cyberlink disks won't be useable on
other systems but the EZCD disks are.

Is there a good a good CD/DVD burner program that I can put on both
machines that will be universally readable and writeable. I was
hoping to be able to transfer files to other machines from each
machine.

I've searched the group and Google comes up with some free ones but
I'm wondering what the best answer is.

I suspect your older machine is not able to handle the data format on that CD.

If you cna put that CD in any other computer and it stopped working on the
98 machine then iit is the older CD ROM that needs to be updated.

I ran into this a few times myself at work.

I'll try that.

Sorry about the double post, sent a copy to the other machine and it
must have included the post again.

Thanks.
