Here is the deal.
If you burn a CD from an ISO, it will make no difference where you burn it.
Every CD burner, on a Mac/PC or otherwise, should create a correct CD
regardless. That is the whole point behind an ISO.
If you try to burn a CD from individual files on a PC (any OS), and try to
use it on a Mac, you will notice that the resource forks are missing. Why?
Because on the PC, there is no concept of a resource fork. What the Mac is
looking for is simply not their.
So, the problem is not with your CD burner. It is with the incompatibilities
between the Mac OS and the rest of the universe.
I am sure there are programs for the PC that will make it possible to burn
CDs on the PC, from individual files, that will work on a Mac, but this IS
NOT something that is native to the PC.
Regards,
Tal
