Re: What brand of CDRW?
I am using Memorex CD-RW (part 837240) which work fine in my Windows XP
laptop at anything from 16x to 24x. Under Windows XP I cannot get it to
work at any speed. Since submitting the question, as a test, I have loaded
Nero and found that it will format the disc and I can burn files. However,
the real issue is why can't this be done with Windows Vista Ultimate when
the documentation and help files say it can?
