Hi Gregory, Would formatting it while in windblows also make it un-usable by Linux? My CDs all come unformatted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 4:00 PM Subject: Re: Linux ISO No, you don't want to make the cd readable, since that only works under wind blows as far as I know. If this is a cdrw, then you need to erase or as you put it format it before writing to it if it has been written to before. Hth.
