The version of Roxio that I used on a client's system had an option to write
to the CD so that it could be read by any system. Did you select that
option? So far, I haven't had any problems with any system reading them.

Make sure you tell Roxio to close the session if there is an option for
such.

I cannot even find the software roxio on the system,
although the program when completing a rw tells me it is
the sofware used. but the option seem to be limited.

i have searched for roxio and easy cd, I have gone through
the pc and cannot find it. it must be built into XP system

Thanks

Is that an older machine? Some older CD drives can't read CD-Rs and
(especially) CD-RWs.

The machine im using is only a few months old, although
the systems that i need to read the disks would be a few
years older, and mostly running Win 98

XP's native CD writing ability is based upon a limited version of Roxio, the
technology for which Microsoft licensed and included in XP, just like its
disk defragmentation tool is based upon a product called Diskeeper from
Executive Software and portions of Internet Explorer are derived from a
program called NCSA Mosaic.

Not necessarily. I have a CD-R written by Roxio that I haven't closed
(since it's not yet full) and that I continue to add files to. I have no
trouble putting it in another machine and copying files from it to that
machine. You need to pick the correct writing method.

By the fact that you are exiting CD Creator and ejecting the CD, you are, in
effect, closing the session. Sorry! That is a fact!

Then there is close the session and prevent additional writing, which I
believe is what you are going on about! (-:

If the original poster is in fact NOT using Roxio Easy CD (or Roxio Easy CD
& DVD), then many would agree that third party CD-R/CD-RW burning software
is heads above the Windows XP native CD burning. I was just at the Roxio
site, and they're offering Easy CD & DVD 6 boxed for 69.95, plus there's a
mail-in rebate making the cost less. The new Drag to Disc,

"Easily drag and drop files for burning to CD or DVD. Disc formatting and
burning will happen automatically."

is a good feature, and there are many Preferences that the user can set.
