Jim,
The "built-in" CD recording capability of Windows XP (see
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/expertzone/columns/bridgman/august13.
asp)
creates ISO 9660 formatted discs using session-at-once recording. This
is
conventional CD recording which requires no formatting of the CD media
beforehand.
Formatting only becomes an issue when CDs are written in UDF format,
using
a utility like Direct CD. Perhaps the problem is that your other
computer
is creating/expecting UDF format discs while your XP is
creating/expecting
ISO format discs.

Subject: [AV Media Matters] CD burner question
Dear List Members,
I feel like Rip van Winkle. I think I fell asleep and missed out on a
few
things. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Specifically, changes in CD burners. I recently upgraded to a Windows
XP
computer and found that it uses an entirely different way to burn CDs.
It
seems to write only the files being copied to the blank disk and does
not
format the disk beforehand.
Unfortunately, my office computer and my other backup computer then see
these XP-written CDs as read-only so cannot write to them.
On the other hand, if I format a disk on the other computers and put
some
files on it, then the XP will not allow writing anything else to them
sensing them as being full.
Has anyone else had this problem? And a solution?
Many thanks,
Jim Rementer
