Dont Throw your CD-RW if it is not working
Hello all,
It is known to us that WINDOWS 98 SE is Old, but there is something in this OS which is still useful.
If you are using CD-RW and it is not working properly after some writing or erasing attempts don't throw it. Use WINDOWS 98 SE, and within windows 98 se, erase your CD-RW using NERO BURNING SOFTWARE or ANYOTHER at a MAXIMUM SPEED.
Voila, UR CD-RW is now working.
JUST TRY IT!!!!

Re: Dont Throw your CD-RW if it is not working
For me, it's cheaper to throw away the CD-RW than to go through the pain of installing Windows 98, and then Installing Nero, and then wiping the disc.

Re: Dont Throw your CD-RW if it is not working
Infact i agree on some extend.. Windows 98SE is long known for its capabilites to read from media which is rejected by other version of Windows like 2000 or XP or now Vista...
but i dont agree on the point that if the hardware it self is damaged then no software could actually read the disk

I am not asking to install windows 98 in your system. You can try it in your friends or your near and dear computer where windows 98 is installed. Otherwise sorry.

Re: Dont Throw your CD-RW if it is not working
It was just a matter of LUCK and not some hidden feature in Windows 98 that made your CD work.
And my system does not support Windows 98.

Before writing this tutorial I had tested this on 5 CD-RWs which are not readable by WinXP/NT.. When I complete erase all this CD-RWs in Windows 98 SE, All Cd-RWs works perfectly in All OSs.
It was not a bit of LUCk, because Luck not favour you all time. So, it is something special in Windows 98.
Although my system is also not support win98, I am try it on my friends computer. Do it.

Re: Dont Throw your CD-RW if it is not working
Yaar why some of you do unnecessary nagging? he's just saying that it happens on Win 98. If you can, do it, otherwise dont. Whats the point of saying all that stuff. I am sorry if i'm sounding rude but it kinda feels awkward when on Digit forum people do childish things.
I do agree, Win 98 is a lil better at reading damaged CDROM media, although not true for DVDs (perhaps because of their smaller track width). When i had both of them in dual boot config, 98 use to read some CDs rejected by XP. But it hanged many times while doing that. XP and Vista sometimes have problems, maybe because of the extra HAL layer in them. Vista has improved a lil in my personal openion over XP though.

Just FYI, The multisession viewing and switching capability was added by Nero in 98. It was not by default present there.

Yeh, that's true I am asking them to try not install windows 98. I am describing some important features of windows 98. If you have windows 98, then proceed otherwise just forget it.
