So what's going on here and what do I do about it?
That's how it worked with floppies, but not with CDs. CD-R media can only be written to once-- formatting, data, and all. The exception to this is packet-writing software which allows you to mount the CD as a writable drive and add info bit by bit, but I haven't seen any software of this kind available for the Mac. > And BTW, I want to come out of this with a windows-readable disc. CD-Rs are burned with CDFS, which is a file system readable by both Windows and Macintosh. In any case, it sounds to me like you've got a defective CD. Try putting a different blank disc into your wife's machine and see if that works. -- Brad Beyenhof Real-time Finale discussion: http://www.finaleirc.com my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
