Question: Why won't my CD Rom drive read the FileCD disc? Answer: CDRW discs can only be read by Multi-Read CD-ROM drives. The CD-ROM you use to read a FileCD is required to be multi-read capable in order to read CD-RW discs. Make sure that your reader is multi-read compatible. CD-ROM drives that are 20x and slower may not support Multi-Read, please check with the manufacture for your drives specifications.
