Format CD-RW problem

By M0nica L - usenet poster

Report abuse

I have a Dell 8200 with a Samsung SM-308B CD-RW.

I've just purchased some TDK High Speed data disks which are 4x to 10x
compatible. It says for HIGH SPEED DRIVES ONLY.

I can format other CD-RWs 1x/2x/4x. But not these.

So is this drive NOT high speed ? Or is there another issue.

Thanks in advance

Rick

If you are using Roxio software it's not the cd writer, it's the software.
If you use Roxio software you need to use the low speed cd-rw's (1x_4x) if
says (4x-whatever, it won't work). Been there, done that. If you get ahold
of na honest tech at Roxio, they will admit to this and that their software
is not 100% .ISO compliant.

I know TDK has "high speed" drives which are meant for "high speed" CD-RW's
(TDK VeloCD). I no longer have the packaging for either the drive or the
CD's, but I believe TDK suggests using the "high speed" disks on the "high
speed" drives.

Don't slam TDK though... it's an excellent product. :p
