CD RW disk burned in Finder in OS 9.2.1 can't be
read by OS 10.2.1.

Also, I can't burn in the OSX finder-only with
Toast. Fantom tech support told me Apple did this
on purpose for purposes which I consider anti-
competitive. Is this true?

I've never been able to burn in the OS X Finder, but probably because I've never really tried that hard. Disk Copy works fine, though.

Update: I can burn CD-Rs just fine in the Finder under 10.2.1. No idea about CD-RW because I don't have any media handy.

Would you please tell me what kind of CD-RW
drive you have. Mine is a FantomDrives
40x12x40 external firewire. Thanks!

That might be your problem. Is it supported by Apple's Disc Burner software? I'm using the built-in drive on my TiBook.

About all I can say is have you tried burning
the disk in HFS+/9660 format? It's the option
that comes up first, aka "Standard".

I'm having a similar problem and that way did
work for me.
