General question about using CD's

Yes, give him a blank one and 99% of the computers in the world can read
it. And all XP computers with a RW drive can write to it.

Well....thank you for the last sentence anyway. That at least begins to
answer what I was asking. Not being an "idiot", I'll figure the rest of
it out myself.

While Mr. Candy's general demeanor does indeed leave something to be
desired, I can't understand why you think the fact that you fly
airplanes has any bearing on whether or not you are, in general, an
idiot (and I'm not saying that you are, mind you). After all, the
Commander-in-Chief is an idiot. And his father flew airplanes (and still
jumps out of them) and *he's* an idiot.

Tact has never been one of Candy's strengths. Don't sweat it.

Well, just guessing mind you, but if his post below this one is any
indication, I'd say at this point he actually might not have many
strengths to worry about :-))
Anyway, I'll just wish him well and let him pass in the night unnoticed
and forgotten.

Any "idiot can fly an airplane. In fact, a lot of them do! It takes
intelligence however, to have flown them in the environment I did for
fifty years and survive the experience. :-)
No big deal really. Just thought it might make a point where a point was

If you were a test train driver you would change the gauge every 100 =

Windows native CD burning support does not support CD-RW, formatted or
otherwise. Regular CD-Rs use the CDFS recording format, while CD_RWs use
the UDF format. Without packet writing software installed on your friends
machine, his computer cannot see or use a UDF formatted disc. You must
understand that CD-R and CD-RW are completely different from each other.

I hope this question is ok for this group. I'm assuming it might be as
it involves XP's default CD program and CD's.
Yesterday, I asked a friend of mine to download a 50meg program file for
me on his high speed connection because my dial up was too slow. The
plan was for him to put the file on a CD for me and then I would
transfer it to my computer later.
I have Nero InCD installed and use that for my CDRW when I need back up.
I'm having no problems with it right now.
What I did was format a new blank TDK CDRW in InCD and give that CD to
my friend to use after he downloaded the file.
He explained to me today that the file downloaded ok but when he went to
transfer it to the CD I had given him, it wouldn't transfer.
He used a blank CD of his own to put the file on and gave that one to
me.
I think my friend just uses the supplied XP CD recording program on his
computer. He tells me that he doesn't format his discs but just copies
things right to them.
Can someone please tell me why the formatted Nero InCD disk I gave him
wouldn't work on his machine? Should I just have given him a blank CDRW
without formatting it in Nero?
Thanks much,
Dudley

Yes, I understand your point, but the OP said he formatted the disc with
InCD for packet writing. I posted an answer as to why the other computer
could not see a CD-RW formatted for InCD packet writing. Now back off....

Of course you're a fü¢king dumbâss!

You can too burn CD-RWs with the built-in burning software in XP, as packet writing isn't needed top write to any CD-R or RW, unless you want to manipulate individual files on the disk (like a hard drive). I burned many CD-RWs with XP while not using a 3rd party program.

Just to prove it, here is an example from my PC, note, it states "Erase this CD-RW", and at the bottom, the file system is CDFS.

Please learn WTF you're trying to cough up from that 500cc brain of yours!

You also need to read the ENTIRE thread. The OP stated he formatted a CD-RW
with InCD for Packet Writing. Windows does not support Packet writing. I
explained why the Op could see the disc on his computer but his friend could
not. You are the f*cking d*mbass for shooting your mouth off without

It is Ok to make mistakes. I make plenty of them. However when a mistake is
pointed out you may want to learn from it rather than become indignant.

You might want to re-read both the OP's original post and your answer to
him. He wanted to know if someone could explain what may have happened when
he gave an InCD formatted disk to his friend and also if he should have
simply given his friend a blank CD-R/W.

In your reply you clearly said that XP cannot use CD-R/W "formatted or not".
You implied that CD-R/W can only use the UDF format. That is why I posted
the link to Andy McFadden's site to you. True CD-R and CD-R/W are different
media but as you will learn a CD-R/W can use CDFS just as well as UDF. You
will also see that CD-R can use UDF as well as CDFS. Drag n Drop, Direct CD,
DLA and a number of other packet writing programs can format CD-Rs as easily
as CD-R/Ws. However CD-R's are not that great for packet writing because
they can't be erased or have individual files rewritten. Nero, Easy CD
Creator and XP can all use a CD-R/W just as they would a CD-R. For example
you can create audio CDs on CD-R/W and play them on CD players that accept
CD-R/W disks. Applications that create image files like Norton Ghost can
write directly to CD-R/W from DOS using the CDFS format just as they can
burn to CD-R's. Some image burning apps like Image for Windows even asks if
you want to erase the CD-R/W before writing to it. And it does this from
DOS.

BTW being advised to "back off" doesn't mean much to me. It never has ;-)

While Mr. Candy's general demeanor does indeed leave something to be

airplanes has any bearing on whether or not you are, in general, an
idiot (and I'm not saying that you are, mind you). After all, the
Commander-in-Chief is an idiot. And his father flew airplanes (and still

I take strong objection to your describing these two Bushes as "idiots."
That is an insult to all idiots. An idiot, by definition, is an
ignorant person. Ignorant, of course, means lacking knowledge. I would
suggest that the Commander-in-Chief is a moron. By definition that
would be a person having a mental capacity of an 8 to 12 year old, and
being able to do routine work under supervision (Republicans thank God
every day for Carl Rove).

Dubya is my idea of the ideal sorority, er, fraternity president. He is
absolutely qualified for that job.

Since this is OT, my apologies to ACF. My sympathy to the "Bushies" for
having to support a person of such limited intectually capacity.

Nor argument with "moron." But remember, there can be multiple causes
for ignorance.

I kind of like the idea that the liberals and democrats are
fixated on the claim that W is stupid, ignorant, idiot or
moron, it means they will never understand why he beats them
