The Orange Book standard defines how all recordable discs (including CD-R
and CD-RW) are written. Part 2 of the Orange Book standard relates to CD-R
discs and Part 3, to CD-RW discs. The standard was named after the color of
the book’s pages.
• In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/RW
drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must be
used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs, the
drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.
• If these discs are used in a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the
High Speed CD-RW logo, the discs may not be recognized,
resulting in the computer not operating correctly or other
malfunctions occurring.
