I have a very old Mac: 6200 Performa Power PC running 7.5.3

I've burnt some photos to a CD using a Vista PC and the CD image doesn't mount on the desktop. I've run SCSI probe which can 'see' the CD but wont mount it.

Is there anything I can do either end to see the CD?

Thanks for any help.
 
Did you use ISO 9660 when burning the CD? That should work for images. I used to do this using Toast on an old Power Mac.

I used the 'mastered' option in Vista.

The Toast website implies it is for burning CDs on a Mac. I'm burning the CD on a PC running Vista which I then want to see on an old Mac.

Sorry if I've got that confused somewhere.
 
I've burned readable CDs from XP in the past

Apparently you're not alone with this problem in Vista.

"Then use a real burning app like Nero........."
"So just use ISO9660 with Extensions within CDs."

ISO 9660 should work on any machine. Mastered works on some.

Sorry I'm not more helpful with Vista.

I've downloaded "Express Burn". It had an option "ISO+Joliet". The burnt CD didn't work in the old Mac.
