Why Would A CD Be Unreadable in Linux Or XP, But Work In Win10?

I remember running into this a lot back in the day.

Also, I also dimly recall that XP (at least at one service pack level, anyway, don't remember which) had problems reading UDF discs.

UDF wasn't always an installed driver so OS support back in the day wasn't there. You had to actively search out and install it, or get it installed with something like authoring software.

Just to close this out...

My terminology wasn't exactly correct. It was a DVD-R. I still don't know why it won't work, but I'm gonna chalk it up to a bad burn. I have another disc from the same client, that works fine. Same brand, probably from the same batch, and likely he same burn process.

I guess the moral of the story is optical media sucks. I don't see the point in using it, unless there's no other option.

CD 100 for 100 were pretty good.
CD 100 for 15 with rebate available pretty bad.
