Widows XP won't read some CD-ROM discs

[Guest]

I live in two locations and copied some of my files on to a RW-CD to bring from one location to the other. The new computer has Windows XP Home Edition and will not read the disc. It will read other discs though. The CD was formated in Windows 98 and files were copied and pasted from Explorer. Anyone know how I can make my new computer read the disc?

Experience has taught me just to invest about $150 into a
nice Acomdata external hard drive with a USB connection.
Save everything on it and you won't have any trouble at
all as long as you load the driver into Win98. XP does
the plug'n'play.
