Mac OS X 10.2: Burned CDs Do Not Work in Microsoft Windows

Symptom

If you burn a CD in the Finder, then try to use it on a Windows-compatible computer, one of the following occurs:

• The Windows-compatible computer cannot read the CD.
• Items at the root level of the CD can be read, but items nested within folders cannot be read.

Solution

Update to Mac OS X 10.2.1, which allows you to burn CDs that work with Windows. For more information, see technical document 107036, "Mac OS X: About the Mac OS X 10.2.1 Update".
