Re: Re[2]: [newbie] cd-rw
Roman, thank you for your help. I was thinking there was something wrong with the setup of Mandrake, I really have so much to learn. I will check out the other Win programs for burning, I was just hoping to be lazy and transfer some files from my win box. -Jeff On 28 Jan 2002, you wrote: Hi, I am having trouble reading a cd-rw cd.

The two files there ensure that a proper driver for reading the CD is installed when the disc is inserted into a non-CD-RW drive under Windows. So you have two choices - either you check the docs (man) for mount and see if there is some kind of UDF file system mentioned and try to mount it with that, or you access the CD under Windows, copy the files to disk, perform a long or full format of the CD and then burn it the traditional way, using either WinOnCD, Easy CD Creator, Nero Burning Rom or similar programs. If you have more questions I'd be glad to help you. Roman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: Re[2]: [newbie] cd-rw
Daft question, but what is UDF? I've never understood some of the odd types of CD you can create. -Original Message- From: Roman Korcek [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 1:15 PM To: Ralph Slooten Subject: Re[2]: [newbie] cd-rw Hi, I am having trouble reading a cd-rw cd.
