how *dare* they? Heck, I had an external USB CDROM drive - plug it into XP, and
it couldn't read the disks; plug it into W2K, and it could! WTF???

That sorta falls into the category of live and learn but maybe you'll
consider using a third party burner instead of the mickey mouse software
microsoft provides for that purpose.

These were burned with Nero and/or Roxio. On W2K. Couldn't be read in XP.

What's the lesson there?

OK, sorry. I ASSuMEd you were using microsoft software. That is odd.
But I'd look at the devices real close too. Can you burn in XP and read
in W2K? Using the ~same~ software?

It's entirely possible that microsoft has a hand in it but there's an
awful lot of other variables in the mix too.
