OK, there are a few points to note: CD-RW media is not compatible with all drives. Your CD-ROM drive will need to support `multi-read' in order to read the media. Most modern CD-ROM and DVD drives support this and will work, however a number of older drives (including my old 24x Mitsumi) don't. If you used Adaptec DirectCD, there is a good chance that the disc is UDF and not ISO9660. If you used UDF, you will need Linux kernel 2.4 as udf support was not introduced into the kernel until the 2.4 family.
