I burnt a CD and the RiscPC showed that it was empty though CDBurn says that it has 250Mb.

Two things that I've seen happen. Firstly the CD drives on some machines are old and can't read re-writable media. Second there are CDs that RISC OS 4 can't read and for this reason RISC OS Ltd. have had the CDFS from RISC OS 3.70 on there web site so that you can revert to it.

From:

http://support.riscos.com/Support/Updates/CDFSSoftATAPI37.zip

"The RISC OS 3.7 version of the CDFSSoftATAPI driver which can be used to replace the in-built RISC OS 4 CD-ROM driver if you are having problems with Mode 2 discs (Photo-CD and others). To activate it you must *unplug cdfssoftatapi from the command line (press F12). "
