Even if you have burned the CDRWs correctly, there may still be a more
basic problem. I know from personal experience that certain older
models of CD drives simply cannot read CDRW disks. If the target
machine can be booted with MS-DOS or something that you would expect to
let you read files from the CD, then try reading a regular CD, and then
a CDRW.
