Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been able to uses cdrw disks using other drives than the hp 7200i, and if you can read/write a Windows formated cdrw under linux?
It would be great to be use my 'big floppy disks' at other school, etc. Thanks, Wim Kerkhoff Surestore Support wrote: > Hello Wim, > > Thank you for contacting the Alternative Resource Center of > Hewlett-Packard. > > CD-RW discs can only be read in re-writable CD-Writers and MultiRead > CD-ROM drives.
