Hi people, I'm trying to burn a number of files and folders to a CD for use in either a Macintosh or Windows computer - according to the Help in the Finder:
"The Finder can burn files to a CD or DVD. You can then use that disc as a backup, send it to friends, or copy those files to another computer. Mac OS X burns discs that can also be used on Windows computers and other types of computers. The disc uses an HFS Plus/ISO 9660 hybrid format with these file systems: HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge. After you drag items to the disc, the Finder places aliases to them in the disc’s window. When you burn the disc, the original files that the aliases point to are burned to the disc. In addition, if any folder in the burn folder contains aliases, the original files for those aliases are burned to the disc as well." Well, I've tried it several times now and though I can read them fine on my Mac, putting the CD in my mate's PC yields no files in Explorer. Everybody I've given one of these CDs to has said the same. So, can anyone tell me what do I need to do to burn a CD that can be read on either: a) Mac and Windows? b) Windows only? I'm using OS X 10.5.5 Intel Core Duo iMac 20" Thanks in advance for any help.
