I am having trouble using my CD-RW on a laptop with XP Pro installed. Read-write CDs which have been recorded on another (W2K) machine using Nero 5.5 can be read on my XP machine, but all files have readonly attributes, and I cannot delete files or write to the disks! XP invites me to erase the disk, which will also reformat the disk so that XP can read and write to it.
This is a pain, as I want CDs written to on one machine to be readable and writable on another machine. Does XP use a different format from Nero? If so, which is better? Is it ok to install Nero 5.5 on my XP machine, and if so, will it automatically 'override' the XP format?
Any opinions will be appreciated. I would be surprised if no-one else has has this problem.
Many thanks,
