Reading CDRW from Win98SE 1

[y2ktiger]

Hi; I had some documents backedup on a CDRW with a computer running win98SE, since then I have upgraded to WinXP and all is working fine but now I cannot read the CD from win98SE, The CD was backedup with the same program Roxio which is also loaded on with winXP.

Try IsoBuster (free Trial):

This usually happens when the CD is not finalized, or when there are more than one session burned (at least in my experience)...

Do you know anyone with a 98 machine where you might be able to recover you files?

Virtual PC on XP would allow you to install 98.
