I had a problem reading CD-RWs with XP after I tried transfering files on CD-RW from Win98. XP can’t read it…all I see as files is the install file for UDF Reader. After I install it it doesn’t do anything! it STILL doesn’t show any files. The Win98 computer has DirectCD and Record Now. I tried installing the same version of DirectCD on the XP puter but nothing happened. I looked for a newer version of DirectCD downloaded it and still nothing happened. What’s going on!?! :(…Thanks
As you know, the stupid programmers at Micro$oft rushed through XP, leaving many bugs, worms, and other crap in the final product. I suggest that you must wait for an update on the Micro$oft webpage.
Yup
upgrade to Windows 2000 
Or learn Linux (Im finding it really hard so far) 
Don’t know if it will work, but you could try InCD instead of DirectCD.
Or instead of single boot WindowsXP you can make a dual boot, both Windows98 and WindowsXP and try again under Windows98
yeah use InCD direct cd is no good
