That's because they're saved in ISO9660 format (the 'DOS' file standard.
CD-RW are saved in all sorts of formats depending on the software and the
needs.  For instance, DirectCD makes a file system that allows files to be
deleted from the middle of the CD allowing the space to be used, whereas
Adaptec's Easy CD Creator saves it in ISO9660.

With CD-R (that's what you've got) you have the choice to save in ISO9660,
Joliet and, in some cases Romeo (but that's not very standard).

I personally use DirectCD because it allows you to insert a CD-RW disc and
then use Explorer, or any other Windows or DOS progam to save or copy files
to it, without using mastering software (as if it were a floppy drive).
