Question: Which burners can I use in conjunction with the repair option in the Target CD-R window? What will be repaired?
Answer: If the writing was interrupted by a power failure, the Philips burners and compatibles offer a command so that a defective CD-R can be used again -- but only if the CD-R was not removed from the drive! This is the feature used by the MakeCD Philips drivers.
The Sony 926S, Yamaha CDR200 and Yamaha CDR400 have a very powerful repair command which can even cope with defective CD-Rs that are not even recognized on other drives.
The Yamaha CDR100/102 and compatibles do not support repair.
Most devices finish the last track automatically should the data stream be interrupted and the burner is still running. The track is then too short, but at least further tracks can be written to the CD-R.
