the cd-rom drive must be capable of reading cd-rw disk, and as a very
general rule only those with speeds >= 16x or 24x will work (not because of
the speed, but rather because of how recent they are). so it's not a
question of how do you burn the cd-rw, but if the cd reader you want to use
can handle cd-rw.

  a 44x one.

so the disc is burnt just fine, it looks like your 8x reader doesn't handle
cd-rw discs.

hope this helps you,
