I'd say try it and find out, the cd's are pretty darn cheap. I've never had any problems with games and installs from burned disks (though not all disks will burn, b/c of copy protection)

Emphasis on "in theory" though. I have a friend who's had trouble with it, but that may have been specific to his setup. I've never had a problem, or known of any others who did.

yeah but reading on a CD-RW shouldn't affect the disk at all (unless you are stupid enough to click write )

True. I thought he was asking about running things on the computer properly, not the cd itself. If he was referring to the cd, then I agree completely, no risk at all.
