Copy to CD-R

[dick]

I burned (copied) some photos all in .jpg format to a CD-R
using the XP recording program. On my compter they come up
fine and are all listed in Explorer. I gave the disk to a
friend who has a Dell and nothing comes up or is listed in
Explorer. Is there some option somewhere to "make the disk
compatible", did I do something wrong, or does something
need to be set on his computer? Thanks.

It should work. Try it on a third PC, if possible. May help pin down
which CD deck has a problem.

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. In my case it turned out to be an
incompatible media type. Try copying the files onto a disk from your
friends stock of blank disks. BTW the CD disks I had trouble reading had a
bluish background to the write surface.

It might be the media brand you are using. Try using a blank CD-R from you
friend's stock to record the photos.
