Having the most annoying issue... I have a Portege 7020CT with the 10/100 Network Dock II. Specs for the dock can be found here: https://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Toshiba/ … cifications.pdf (scroll down a bit). The specs clearly state, the dock PA3007U, can support CD-R & CD-RW. I have burned several CD-RWs and CD-Rs using MagicISO (Mode 1 & Mode 2/XA), with and without finalizing the disc and also using Windows XP's default burning capabilities using Explorer.

None of these discs will read!

However, I have Flight Simulator 98 and Microsoft Golf on CD-ROMs. Those read fine. I wrote some notes for myself years ago that says 'mode 2 burning on magiciso did work once out of two tries. what i have found to work is really using windows to create a MASTERED cd/dvd, then writing files to it.'

What does this mean? How can I create a mastered disc on Windows? Would the speed at which I write the CD affect the laptop that tries to read it? For example, 52x capable CD-R, I write to it at 10x... would this necessarily stop the laptop from reading it? Would doing 4x help?
