One measure of how old your CD-ROM drive is, is its "X" number.  If it's less 
than 12X, it may be too old to read CD-R and CD-R/W disks.

FWIW, music CD-Rs often won't play in older CD players, either.  The 
light/dark ratio between 0 spots and 1 spots is less in the writable media.

Anyway, you'll love having a DC-R/W drive, or even DVD read.  My system is 
only a 433 MHz Celeron, and it can play DVD movies (running right on the edge).
