Question: I have created a data CD using MakeCD. No errors were shown, but the image must have been corrupted since several icons burnt to the CD are missing on the Workbench, and numerous archives are corrupt. I have tried using another version of MakeCD, resulting in another defective CD-R. Sometimes even the disk icon fails to appear. Sometimes the file system crashes! My configuration is: A4000, Yamaha CDR 100, Toshiba 4101.
Answer: Have you tested the CD on your Toshiba? Toshiba drives (and drives from other firms too) have always had problems with specific types of CD-R. The same blanks can be read prefectly well on other drives. Try this - your two apparently defect blanks will probably read perfectly on another drive (e. g. TEAC). See the file `doc/Compatibility'. This has details on some CD-Rs which we have found to be reliable.
