Final Review

CD-ROM Drive Incompatibility with Recordable CDs

Sometimes, it appears that you wrote a CD without trouble and can
read it on your CD recorder; however, when you put it in a standard
CD-ROM drive, one of the following happens:

The CD is ejected

You get error messages such as

no CD-ROM

or

not ready

reading

You have random problems accessing some files or directories.

The problems may vanish completely when you use the disc on dif-
ferent CD-ROM drive.

The lasers of some CD-ROM drives, especially older ones, are not
calibrated to read recordable CDs because their surface is different
from that of factory-pressed CDs. If your CD-ROM drive reads
mass-produced (silver) CDs but not recordable CDs, check with the
CD-ROM drive manufacturer to determine if this is the problem. In
some cases, an upgrade may be available to resolve the problem.

The combination of CD brand and CD recorder can make a differ-
ence. See the manufacturer’s documentation for recommended CD
brands.
