Question CD-RW burning problems on an IBM T40

Hi guys/girls,

I'd appreciate any help with an annoying problem on my Thinkpad. I've been trying to burn photos and date files onto Sony CD-RWs but the discs come out unreadable on other computers. I believe I am using something called IBM DLA and wonder if that somehow changes the way the CD is written? If anyone could help me with reverting the settings such that I can write CDs as they usually work with XP Pro I would be most grateful.

PS - Don't know if it's relevant or related, but each time I pop in a blank CD-RW I am forced to do a full format which takes at least 20 mins, but I don't remember having to do this on my T20.
