-- I have a Dell with Roxio CD software. I formatted a CD-RW and then
copied files to the CD but when I put the CD into anothe PC, that CD player
doesn't even know there is a CD in the drive. Why?

Thanks

Hi,

Probably wrote it with UDF software, and XP doesn't always read it well
natively. The system without the installed UDF software may not be able to
read a disk written with it.
