Even the older imacs cant read burned CDs, but it varies with the exact CD type. For example I was able to read burned CDRWs on Apple CD300 drive. I have also transferred files by using a hard drive temporarily installed in the computer. Is your ibook running classic or osx?

Stanley Sent: Tuesday, 24 May 2005 10:07 AM To: Compact Macs Subject: Reading a CD on a Classic II Hi all, I have a mac classic II with an 8X's external cd drive that works well for all commercial cd's that I have tried (all cd's mount and run fine). I needed to transfer a few files from my ibook to my classic that are too large for a 1.4 mb floppy. However if I burn these files onto a CDR they will not mount on my classic II (I get a dialog box offering to format the cd). I know that CRRW's are incompatible with older Macs but have never had trouble mounting CDR's that I had burned to transfer files. I have tried both Mac only and Mac/PC formats with no success. Any help/ideas appreciated Thanks, Steve -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
