Don't worry about the type of CD-R. They do not differ in the type of data
they can store. What software are you using to burn CD's?
PS: The part about formatting a CD-R mentioned above is true. CD-R's
require
no formatting, and formatting attempts should not be attempted with
non-rewritable media.

Thanks. I don´t know how to burn something onto it if I can´t
access the drive (pardon my ignorance!). I´ve tried copying
document files to it but it won´t let me.

The disk is a Millenium Recordable CD-R for Professionals, CD-R
700MB, High Performance 52x. Am I using the wrong sort of disk?

Hi,

Everytime I insert a blank disk in the drive it is unreadable, the
error reading ´this disc is not compatible´. It´s a standard
CD-R disk and the
error is occurring when I try to format it - any clues?
Thanks.

you can format (and re-format) a "re-writeable" CDRW, NOT an CD-R
(write once , or multisession).

some CDROM's will give the unreadable error UNTIL you burn
something to the disk.

if this is not the case , please give more details as to type of
CDROM/CDR you are trying to use...


it is not the "type" of CDR you are using , just the method you are using to
burn the CD is not recognized by win98.

using built-in burning software or third party (Nero ,etc.) ?
