[GLLUG] CD-R Problems

[Ex Fed]

A group of my users has one machine with XP on it which can add to a CD-R 
disk over and over again.  It has no extra software or drivers loaded on it, 
other than those that came off of the Windows XP CD.

They have another machine with windows 2000 which has Direct CD 5 on it.  
With this machine you can not add to the previously written CD-R mentioned 
above.  It indicates that the media can not be written to.  It can create 
CDs from files or copy CDs provided it is a blank CD-R

Why does the one machine allow us to write to the CD-R over and over again 
and the CD remains locked to the machine?


Could it be a difference in the CD writer hardware specifications?
