Okay, here I was telling a Wintel usin' friend that MacOS X could read basically any disk format Windows could... and he hands me a CDFS CD-R. Hah. The disk didn't even show up in Disk Utility.
Is there any way for me to read CDFS burned CD-Rs?
odds are he's a retard and forgot to close the CD when he burned it, so you need stupid Roxio crap to even read it. i have users do that all the time, then they wonder why the disk doesn't work anywhere else.
Er, CDF is "a conceptual data abstraction for storing, manipulating, and accessing multidimensional data sets." It's from NASA, for working with huge (multi-TB) data sets.
I'm interested in CDFS. Thanks though...
And, the CDs open fine on all the Wintel machines they've been thrown at. Just not on my 10.2.2 PowerBook.

[quote]Since the advent of CD-ROM, both Macs and PCs have been able to read and
record CD-ROMs in ISO 9660 format. The initial version of this standard
allowed files to be exchanged if their names did not exceed 8+3 characters.
Currently, this standard may include a number of file systems. A CD burnt on a
Windows XP system uses ISO 9660 format by default (this format bundles the
CDFS file system) and can be recognised by Mac OS X.<hr></blockquote>
hmm, i'm not getting it. what did he burn it with?
