Re: Effect of higher write speeds of a CD



Yes, the higher write speed sometimes results in an unreadable CD, depending on
the brand of the media and the model of the drive. CD blanks are rated to burn
at a maximum speed, but sometimes the advertised speed is vaporware. Try 12x
or 16x, and you'll probably be OK with bootable CDs.

Hi,

I am facing a problem reading a CD which has been burnt with a higher
speed.
For instance, Consider this scenario.

I have burnt a CD with a speed of 48X or more. Its a Win PE bootable
CD. But when i am trying to read the CD . The system does not boots up
and just shows a blinking cursor. May be its not able to read the CD
due to speed mismatch.

Its working fine when I burn the CD with a lower write-speed (Say 9X).

Could it be possible that the higher write speed has to do with this
problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Warm Regards.
