After burning numerous cds I find that they are not readable on many computers, expecially XP. Is there a standard in use to design software that won't result in lost data? What software? I need to convert to something.

I think you asking which CDRW utility works. I use Easy CD Creator V4 and have no problems. For XP you would need the new version from Roxio as the first release of V5 did not work with XP.

I use Clone Cd and so far i do not get any problems with it. AS it burns Any cd And Then it reads in any computer. with clone cd it will clone the exact image of the original.

I had the same problem and found with EZ-CD I had to close the disk or session for it to work in some cd players. Also some of the older CD-Roms (Read 8X and below) don't read CD-R's or CD-RW's.

The docs clearly state that CDR/RW disks may not play on older drives. This is a limitation of the design standard on the old drive, not a fault in EZCD or the CDR. Time to upgrade the CDROM drive, this stuff becomes obsolete before it wears out.

This is an open discussion board, if you want privicy use direct email. Time cut back on the caffine and chill out.

Or maybe you should start drinking caffine. This person cannot read the disks on OTHER computers. If he is using EZCD and NOT closing the session or disk it will not be readable in OTHER computers. Unless they to have EZCD or install the UDP reader.Again mind your business.

If you read the question there is no ref to either which software he is using or which kind of CDs being burned, or the process used, or the read device. This leaves us all to make assumptions for the options. Im not quite sure how you burn CDs without closing the session with EZCD. As for your comments and apparent attitude, it's a personal problem and I don't care.

Check this first. CDRW is WAY different than CD-R, which when using clone cd or a similar program on the right burner and reader will play back on almost anything running today.

Hope this helps :>
