I have burned a bunch of CD-R's on my Max (OS-X). They are all datafiles, pictures and programs. I used "Disk Utility" to burn them.

I can use the disks in computers running Windows XP, but when I put them into my new Windows Vista laptop, it looks like they are just blank CD's!

I called Toshiba to see if they could help me fix Vista so that it would read them. Of course they told me it was a problem with my Mac.

Does anybody know how to burn CD-R's so that Windows Vista will read them?

You might want to try burning a data CD by dragging files onto the blank CD icon on your desktop, and then hitting the "burn" button. This method guarantees that the CD will have a HFS+/ISO 9660 hybrid filesystem that should be able to be read by most operating systems.
