Have to agree here. I have some that didn't want to work on the desktop, but did on the laptop. However, the other day, I grabbed one by mistake, (now having put XP on) and it did burn, however, it wouldn't burn above 4x even tho my burner is a 20x for CDR disks. The sleve isn't marked, but I did get them some time back (real cheapies with rebate, but brand name) and think that it may be part of the problem. Some time back a friend had some of the double shiny disks (no writing whatsoever on the lable side) and they worked fine. He then had a sleve of Memorex and tried those. They wrote in his machine, but couldn't be read in either his wifes cd drive or mine in my old Hitachi laptop. Turns out, it couldn't even be read in his other cd drive. Since then, I have avoided the memorex brand even tho they may work now in my newer systems.
