Stephen,
With all do respect to the folks at Microsoft Campus, their list about Windows compatible CD-Rs means absolutely nothing! There is simply no such a thing as a non-Windows compatible CD ROM.
Most software sold today, is sold on a CD ROM. Imagine if you bought that software and then couldn’t install it because your burner is not Windows compatible?
Heck you couldn’t even probably install the Windows Operating systems that you are running now...
Today, support for CDRs is built-in into the system BIOS of any motherboard built since 1999. Before that, you needed supporting software driver which were supplied by the CDROM manufacturer.
The entire PlexWriter line works excellent with ALL versions of Windows, Linux, Unix and any other operating systems that someone may be working on their garages.
For karaoke, it’s simply the best burner out there, at any price!
The Plextor line is the defacto standard by which other CDRs are measured today.
Please read
this post and then post back as much information as you can and you'll see how quick we get you running. Meanwhile, you can bet your last dollar that the problem is not your Plextor, unless you have a defective unit.
Regards,
Jon
