in some cases like that you need to use a cdrw drive to read the cd. ive seen that before. im not sure if it has to do with the disc itself or if the cd wasnt finalized. im sure someone else has an answer as well.

What do you mean by permission? Do you mean you get a message asking for authorization? Or do you mean the CDRW media is just not being recognized using the standard CDROM drive? If that's the case, you may need to install a UDF Reader to access CDRW medias through a standard CDROM drive... In most cases, any CDROM drive 24X and under will not be able to read CDRW media with or without UDF Reader...


Note : UDF Reader installation will not be necessary for Windows 2000 since UDF Reader is installed automatically by default when Windows 2000 is installed...
