CD-R disks can be finicky under various configurations. Can you read from the same CD booting the system under a different OS (say DOS or Windows)? > What is this mean?

I found I could read a CD on a laptop but not my desktop, could ssh or Samba mount the CD to pull files from it to the desktop. -- Karsten M.
