Re: burning potato iso's for an older CDROM
Hello!
I'd also give a real cdr media a try if you have previously burned a cdrw...
if you have old drives, it's very probable that they can't read cdrws, but I
could even read cdrs with two old 1x-speed drives I had. And with a
ten-year-old diskman, too.
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
