CD format issue

I wanted to find out if anyone else has run into this problem:

I have been trying to get files from an XP box to a Linux box via ISO9660 CD format.

I originally used Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator on my Windows XP home machine to try to burn the .tar files and put them onto the Linux box.

I tried twice, thinking the first CD might have been bad, to do this. However, neither time would the Linux box read the CD made from my XP box.

Then, I pulled out Nero Express and chose the multi-format option and voila! It worked and I put the driver source files on the Linux box.

Has anyone had this problem burning ISO CDs from a Microsoft OS burning software?
