Cannot burn 90minute CDs in XP

[Tim Schoenfelder]

I have some files larger than 700mb. To store these
files on a single CD I purchased 90 minute/800MB CDRs.

I dual-boot into both Linux and Windows. My burner will
burn 90 minute CDs in Linux using XCDRoast and CDR tools,
however, XP won't let me burn these same type of CDRs to
800MB as it doesn't see these CDs as 90 minute/800MB
CDs.

Is there any way to tell XP that I'd like to burn a 800MB
CD?

Use nero ... it should have come with your cd drive when
you purchased it ...

In order to burn 90 minute cd's you have to overburn, which the XP burning engine is not capable of doing, you need 3rd party
software to do it.

What program are you using to to burn them in XP? I don't know if the
XP cd burner will let you do it, but programs like Nero will.

Not the inbuilt burning. You would need one of the third party packages
(Roxio Easy CD Creator 6 at least will handle 90 and 99 minute disks)
