I have to PC's. The laptop is a DVD reader & CD burner. The other tower is just a CD burner. The trouble is they are not compatiable with each other. Then I save something on a CD and take it to the printer & it does not work on there computer. I remember somthing about 2 different formats last time I was shopping. I also found a program to convert or read files in the wrong format but it cost's as much as a new drive. So what type of drive do I need to buy.

On top of that I have problems with the laptop getting it to format a blank CD. Could it be I just don't have the right software to format the drive?
