This might be a stupid Q, but switched back to mac after years of using PCs, and I'm still learning what I can and can't do.
Have a G4 powerbook with panther. I'm stuck trying to format a CD-RW that both my powerbook G4 with a superdrive and my old win 98 machine will read. When I format using the win 98 machine, the mac just won't read it. When I format using the mac, the windows machine will recognize the cd, and i think can read from it, but won't write to it; says something about not having authority;
Did some searching online. Read a page on the apple website (
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61342) that indicated that I should be able to create a hybrid cd if I use the finder. I even make sure that the permissions give any user permission to read/write data to the disk. But still no luck. The mac under "get info" shows the format of the cd to be Mac OS Extended. This does not sound like a hybrid format
is the problem that the pc can't write to the cd in the appropriate hybrid format; the software for my cd drive is b-clip and the cd drive is a sony
Any suggestions?
