Resolving Common Problems
The following sections describes common problems you may
encounter, along with some suggestions for resolving them. If you
need further assistance, see Getting Technical Support on page 11-5.
Problems Reading Recordable CDs
If you have successfully written a CD but have problems reading it,
there are a number of possible reasons:
■
If the CD can be read on the CD-R or CD-RW drive but not on a
standard CD-ROM drive, check in Disc Info and Tools to make
sure that the session containing the data you just wrote is
closed. CD-ROM drives cannot read data from a session that is
not closed. If the CD session is not closed, go ahead and do so.
■
If your CD is ejected, you receive an error message, or you
have random problems accessing files from the CD, your
CD-ROM drive may not be well-calibrated to read recordable
CDs.
Problems Reading Multisession CDs
If you can see only data recorded in the first session but not in subse-
quent sessions, it may be that:
■
You recorded the CD in CD-ROM (Mode 1) format, while your
multisession CD-ROM drive recognizes only CD-ROM XA
(Mode 2) multisession CDs. See Chapter 5, Making a Multises-
sion CD.
or,
■
Your CD-ROM drive does not support multisession at all.
If you can see only data recorded in the last session, you may have
forgotten to link your new data with data previously recorded on
the CD. Make sure to link your new session to an existing session
before recording. See How to Make a Multisession CD on page 5-2.
