    CD's generally use a standard format that can be read from both OS's. I'm not sure I understand why you are asking.

    I formatted a cd disc under win7, but win98se can't read it for some reason.

    It was formatted as a mega floppy disk.

    Windows 98 does not support this type of CD.

    I must have missed the class that taught about CD's using FAT32 file systems. We are not talking about FAT or NTFS file systems.
    ISO 9660, also referred to as CDFS (Compact Disc File System)

    very good I stand corrected, but check out the options of burning a cd with windows 7, not formating it.
