Re: PB5300cs Not reading burnt discs

[Andrew Kershaw]

If it won't read ANY burned disc, it's probably a problem with the CD 
drive you are using and not the CD-R/RWs.  My beige G3's CD-ROM drive 
stopped reading CD-Rs a long time ago.  That's why I took it out... 
;-)

Dan's right about HFS+ requiring OS 8.1 or better.  CDs destined for 
Windows users are often in ISO 9660 format or some variant thereof. 
The Mac OS (at least since 7.5.5) has drivers to read disks in the 
ISO format (the Foreign File Access set of extensions including High 
Sierra, ISO 9660, Photo CDs, and others), so that's probably NOT your 
problem.

Give us more info to help you out.  What does the 5300 say when a 
disc is inserted?  Are you using SCSI termination?  Does the drive 
recognized stamped (manufactured) CDs as opposed to burned CDs?  Etc.

Peace,
Drew

Re: PB5300cs Not reading burnt discs

[Dan Palka]

You're most likely burning in incompatible file systems.  If you're 
running OS 8.0 or anything lower, it won't be able to read HFS+ disks.  
Also probably wont read Windows cds, whatever that format is called (I 
have no idea nor do I care to).
