I have a dvd+cd-writer combination drive on my computer and I want to transfer some files to my second computer so I just copied the files to a blank cd rom with the cd writer. But my second computer has a normal cd-rom drive and can't read the cd. I formatted the cd so it can be read in all cd-rom drives using the options the program offered. So, Why can't my second computer read the cd? Thanks in advance.
It reads perfectly in the drive it was made in. The drive that can't read it can read other cd-r's and the drive is about 3 years old.

I am just curious that did you "close session" to the disk you burned. I suspect that you only burn the CD but let the disk open (just in case you want to add more stuff). CD-Rom cannot read opened sessioned CD's so butn a CD and close it's session. See if this helps.

I'm having the same prob w/an old 6X cdrom. If you look at most CD-R software, it'll tell you its readable by MULTIREAD CD-ROMs. Which basically means it has to be a CDROM that was made after CD-R was invented. So that may be your prob. Hope I helped.
