SYMPTOMS
Windows 2000 cannot read packet-written CD-R discs with metadata packets that are recorded at non-page-aligned addresses. This can prevent Windows 2000 from reading CD-R discs that are created by using Adaptec DirectCD or on Macintosh computers.
CAUSE
Metadata packets are recorded at non-page-aligned addresses. The Universal Disk Format file system (UDFS) expects all data (even metadata) to be aligned at page boundaries.
