I have a MATs---A CD-RW CW-7586 [CD-ROM drive] and I can't read my cd rewritable disk, I used it at work on a cd creator program where I formatted it , then dragged and dropped the folders, I copied over 236 mb of info, but I cant read it on my win xp system at home? it'a as if the info is not there, any suggestions on how I can first tell if the folders are on the disc and secondly read them, do I need to upgrade the driver for my cd rom or need a different program to read it Thanks for your help.

You may need what' known as packet writing software. Nero has one called InCD, and Roxio has one called, I believe, DirectCD. If you have either product, you may have it on the original Roxio/Nero CD.

I think your problem is that you did not finialize the cd-rw disk.all cd-rw and cd-r have to be finialize befor they can be read by a cd-rom.but don't worry cd-rw can be formatted after you finialize it.and then use it again.
