Hi everyone,

I need to ask a very general question about windows.

You see if i use a cd writer and burn some files to a CD on a windows
pc will i be able to access the same data on the CD on a Mac or Linux box?

I don't really have a linux or mac box to test this out but i hope someone that has some experience in this could share with me whether the dat will still be accessible.

Hoping to hear from someone

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

On Linux yes, you can read CDs created under Windows in any of the main CD formats which are ISO9660, CIFS and Juliet formats and I'm pretty sure Mac can do the same. Linux can also read FAT/FAT32/NTFS as well.
