Well thank you! I thought I was going mad, or something like that. Tried to burn an audio-cd on the same drive and that worked out well, somehow. Now I know what's causing it... I don't think I will buy a new drive, this one works fine, except for that limit, then, :-/ However, I tried to burn knoppix on a CD-RW (for the second time) and that worked well (for the second time)... Maybe the fixating is done differently for CD-R and CD-RW? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
