I can read a CD-R disc on my CD-R drive, but when I put it into a CD-ROM drive it won't play. What should I check?
Answer:
The most common reason for this is that the disc has not been "finalized" by the recording software, making it unreadable by the CD-ROM reader. The finalization process is the last part of the multisession recording process, which writes the overall disc table of contents into the disc lead-in area, making the disc conform to the ISO 9660 standard required by most reader and reader driver software.
