Hi all,
I have problems writing data to my CDRW discs in Windows formatted in Linux. In Windows, it complains about writing to the disc is not permitted since the disc is write protected. How am I supposed to remove the write protection? Do I have to do this by reformatting the disc in Linux and enabling write permission to the disc? If this is the way to do it, how do I give write permission to the disc when formatting it? Thanks for any help and guidance.
You have to put some sticky-tape over the write-protection notch on the edge of the disk
(sorry, I couldn't resist... ;) )

I love people with such helpfull answers at hand. You should have a look in the archives. If I remember right, the problem is that the packet patch creates a UDF 2.0 disc by default, but Windows can only deal with the older 1.5 format. There is a switch to mkudfs or cdrwtool that leaves you with the option to choose the older format. Another possiblity is to format the disc in Windows. Regards, Ingo
