Donīt do this (just use iso-9660, maybe with Rock-Ridge or Joliet-extensions), this format is only readable within Windows. Otherwise there should be no difference in reading or mounting between a CD-RW and a CD-R. There are however older CD-ROMs, which donīt like CD-RW because of their laser pick-ups. Is this machine dual-booted with Win? Can you access the disk there, with the same CD-ROM?
