Why can I delete individual files from a CD-RW on my desktop computer, but
not on my laptop. I see all these posts that Read only is a Windows
limitation. Obviously it isn't if I can do it on a Dell Demension 8200. I
cant, however, on a Dell Inspiron 1100. What is causing this? Same
media...use Roxio on the Desktop and Sonice (same company) on the laptop.
