Win-XP can not read Win-95?

17:23 7-06-03

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone can help me with this probleem I
have with my Windows-XP Pro; Not being able to reading from
my Windows-95 CD-rw's, to it!?(To the Windows-XP recorder)

My problem is just the Opposite of the Below mentioned as
you can notice!(Which Does work)

Thus, It Can read in Windows-95 from Windows-XP
Pro(CD-rws). But Not the other way around.

So if I Save/Copy to CD-rw in Windows-95, It Does/Will Not
read and see it in Windows-XP Pro.(Only in some cases I can
see folders and some other things/files, thus not the
majority that is on the CD-rw. Which is 'Invisible!')

But, if I Save/Copy to CD-rw in Windows-XP Pro, it has no
problem reading and seeing it in Windows-95.

Further more, I have no problems when Burning to
disc(CD-r), in both Windows-XP Pro and Windows-95. They Can
both read what is burnt to CD-r.

Thank you in advance.
