        Unfortunately it really depends on HOW the CD was burnt. If it was burnt as
UDF then only a really new OS (or an OS with the right driver) will be able
to read it. If it was burned without 8.3 filenames (joilet only) then that
will also prevent reading on non windows platforms. I always try to burn all
discs in ISO9660 format (and that includes DVDs) with both joilet and normal
filenames. It's a little restrictive (mostly on directory depth, characters
used and filename length), but it tends to have the largest compatibility.
