My computer came with Windows XP, which I found out can
burn CDs with out the use of third party software (I am
use to using Roxio at work on Windows 2000 stations). My
concern is the compatibility of the CDs burnt with in
XP. Will other computers running other versions of
Windows be able to read the CDs I burn in XP? And how do
you tell XP that I am done burning my cd and to close it
for reading (at least that's how Roxio words it)?

Thanks for all your help.
 
Burning CD's in XP actually uses Roxio's burning engine.
It's just built into the shell. Windows will "close" all
audio and data CD's burned on CD-R's. CD-RW will stay
open so u can burn more data to them.
 
Wrong. CD-RW are closed as well. To add or remove files the CD needs to be erased.

You are wrong (AGAIN!) CD-RWs are closed just like CD-Rs. You cannot 'packet
write' without the use of 3rd-party software. You also cannot selectively
erase - it's all or nothing.

No I don't but at least I research before I reply...maybe you should
consider doing the same?


That's all well and good, but you need to research your answers *BEFORE* you
post. Someone could end up doing irreparable damage to their system one of
these days by following your 'advice'. If you don't really know the answer,
it's best if you don't post at all rather than guessing.
