I've also had trouble reading the CDs on Win98 machines, that I write on the DVD-RW drive with Nero on the WinXP machine. Written on the Sony CD-RW drive using it's own Sony CD Extreme, they work just fine. Very strange.
What I (think I) Know about CDs...From all I have read, CD drives, CDR drives and CDRW drive all use different technologys. Most of the incompatibility of newer media is due to rotational velocity during a burn and color of the dye.
So when I burn a disk for another computer especially when it is for Win98, I always burn it at the slowest speed I can which is 8x.
If I expect my oldest drive to read it I use my slowest burner, gold disks and and write mode of disk at once and never multi-sessioned.
Then all the disks are pretty much cross drive compatible. YMMV, http://www.cdrfaq.org/ Thankx, Ed
