being read by other computers. The ones I made were only readable on the computer where they were made. Thank goodness they wasn't the only copies I had.
I also experienced the formatted CD-RW not responding to the eject button if I had recently added data and DirectCD was running.
These CD burning programs came loaded on my Dell Desktop purchased Feb., 2001. I've made Data CDs on CD-RW discs in both Easy CD and Direct CD. I've not been able to check either of these in any standard CD-ROM drive so I can't confirm readability of these discs in a standard CD-ROM drive.
I've read the reference material for these programs a number of times, but am still left with a few gnawing questions that I hope someone can help me with.
1. On the disc made with DirectCD, I can't seem to eject the disc using the eject button. I have to activate the DirectCD program and use its eject button
command. Why? If I put this CD in a standard CD-ROM drive on a machine without the DirectCD software, how would I eject it?
2. Does the DirectCD created disc need the DirectCD program and/or UDF to read it?
3. I believe, I understand, once formatted and created with DirectCD, I can later add or remove files much as I would any other disk storage media. Correct?
4. On a CD-RW disc created with Easy CD Creator 4, should I be able to run this on a standard CD-ROM drive? If not what do I need in order to read it?
5. On a CD-RW disc created with Easy CD Creator 4, can I add and remove files, post creation? If so, How?
I'm getting ready to send a potential publisher a CD-RW loaded with files and I need to be sure they can be read and CD ejected on whatever drive they may be using. I would appreciate responses to these concerns. Thank you!
