Getting errors when trying to use CD-R on Compaq laptop

[bluejay]

I bought 10 blank CD-Rs and tried multiple ways on trying to use it. I used the "master" setting when setting up the CD since the other requires XP, and I want to use these disks on a 95 machine. First I tried formatting and dragging the files onto the CD. They burnt and worked on my Win 10 laptop but when I put it in the Compaq LTE 5250 I got an error saying that the CD wasn't High Sierra or ISO-9660 format. Ugh. Next I tried not formatting the disk and dragging the files. I got a "Volume in drive E has no label" error. Then I burnt an ISO image onto another disk. Got the same "Volume in drive E has no label" error. What am I doing wrong?

Every once in a while it'll also say "Fail on INT 24" too.

Use an older burning software, and do it as a Disc-at-once burn session.

 

Burn it at the slowest speed the disc media supports.

 

Be sure that ISO9660 is used, with Joliet extensions (aka, High Sierra)

Doesn't the disk image contain the file format? I downloaded a few CDROM images from Winworldpc. Then was it the write speed that killed the disks?

ImgBurn allows me to edit a bunch of settings I can edit so I'll probably use that from now on.

ImgBurn crashes, so I used something else. I used the ISO9660/Juliet format, but it didn't have a checkbox for DAO or anything. Burnt it at 10 speed because the software wouldn't go any lower than that. Still got a Volume in drive E has no label error. I have 4 good usable disks left now.
