I have a machine with two CDRoms in them (both SCSI). One is a 16X
CDRW, the other is a Plextor 40X CD. The burner can read it with no
problem. The Plextor cannot. When I burn, I use DAO and burnfree.
I've also tried it without those enabled, same thing. I have not tried
slowing the burn speed down (currently burning at 16X). Maybe I could
try at 4X and see if it makes a difference.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the burner can read the burned
disk and the regular CD cannot. Note: I only use high grade Yamaha CDR
blanks. These are not CDRW blanks.
