[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 739829, member: 24098"] There are many different ways to write a CD. One of the methods that many CD writing applications offer is called "packet writing". Packet writing treats a CD as though it were any other type of media, allowing you to write many times over to the same session. The trouble is, in order to read that kind of a CD, you need to have software installed on the destination PC that is capable of discerning that somewhat proprietary writing method. What MrPlow is saying is that the issue isn't one of software compatibility. It's that the OP's Mac doesn't have a packet writing application installed. The same would be true if he were going from his Windows machine to another Windows machine that doesn't have packet writing software. With that said, it's not really necessary to have such an application if the OP simply creates a standard "data" disc from the CD writing app of their choice. [/QUOTE]
