about using CD's i've burned

[cellosweet x)]

Here's my situation:
I burned a video file onto a CD-R disc on my Windows XP. I was going to try to copy it onto my old computer, which has Windows 95. However, when I put in the CD, the drive says there's no disc inserted. Has anyone ever come across that problem? If so, is there any way to fix it?

95 might now be modern enough to be able to read CD-R. Also, on a computer that old, the drive might be dead. Have you tried other CDs?

[cellosweet x)]

other cd's have worked. i've watched movies and listened to music cds on that computer... so, the drive isn't dead. i wonder what the problem is. :/

Maybe is the CD scratched?

[cellosweet x)]

no... but i did write on it with pencil. but if it still works on my laptop that's Windows XP, then shouldn't it still work on my computer?

The pencil has nothing to do with it.

Where did you get the CD from?

[cellosweet x)]

it's from a 100-pack of Sony CD-R's.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should contact your local geek.
