We use them to create our own software CD to be <BR />installed by our engineers.<BR /><BR />I am really frustrated by the number of times the customers computer will not <BR />read the CD. We waste hours transfering files and data.<BR /><BR />Is it me or do I need a different writer.

The newer writers are better equipped to handle the array (quality) of <BR />the different CD-Rs, and the newer CD-Rs are better quality, and can be handled <BR />by the older CD-ROM devices.<BR /><BR />The technology is not yet up to snuff. You'll probably need to buy newer CD <BR />burners if your current ones are a bit outdated. Also, be sure not to buy the <BR />cheapest CD-Rs. There is a quality difference.<BR /><BR />MrNeil Tue, 23 Nov 1999 11:24:18 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/cd-writer/m-p/2416153#M87 Neil Gast_1 1999-11-23T11:24:18Z
