Vista - Does Vista use a file system when burning CD's that XP can't read?

**SIW2** · 09-18-2008

Hi Yanker,

It seems your 98fe o/s does not support the live file system like most standalone cd and dvd players. Select the Mastered format instead.You will find this underneath the Live file system option - you just need to dot it to select it.

With the mastered system , you can only write to a cd once (unless it is cdrw ) so make sure you have dragged /copied all the files you want to burn into the window first, before you press the burn button.

Alternatively, use a different program, like the free Ashampoo burning studio I mentioned above , or the free Imgburn

The Official ImgBurn Website

http://www.computeractive.co.uk/burningstudio/index

When you first run Ashampoo check "get full product key" which takes you to their website and they give you a free key ( ignore the date limitation - download still works )

Hope this helps

Use ImgBurn (freeware) from http://www.imgburn.com/
Then use option "Write files/folders to disc"

I'm a long, long way from being an expert, but part of it may be the
"version" of UDF XP and/or Vista use. Also, there's a UDF/ISO "bridge
format" that uses both in the same disk so that both new and older systems
can read the CD/DVD created. To make matters worse, there are ways to
"relax" the UDF and ISO formats to make them easier to work with, but that
can result in the disk not working, or working, on different machines and
programs (it's usually best never to "relax" the format, unless you know for
sure it won't make any difference.
Note: An experienced user of the Nero disk burning program can tell you
more about the options for UDF, ISO and UDF/ISO "bridge" formats and what
can be "relaxed" when creating CD/DVDs. (I'm not an experienced user.)
Nero, and other programs, has the supreme advantage of being able to "tweak"
the UDF, ISO and "bride" options/settings, whereas you can't change the XP
or Vista settings. What UDF-ISO-UDF/ISO formats and "relaxations" the "Drag
and Drop" methods use on either XP or Vista, probably only someone at
Microsoft could even begin to tell you, and they don't talk to the public
much. I tried to find out at the Microsoft web site, and it's actually
worse than stereo instructions or understanding the inner workings of some
super computer! (Go to http://www.microsoft.com and use the search feature
to feed in UDF, ISO, and both UDF/ISO together.)

Yes it does. Read the Vista Help on different CD/DVD formats.
