Brad and others, Your expereince points to a tip I have heard elsewhere - keep your older CD drive on hand to read old discs. I did so and am very thankful I did. I have about 20 archived discs at work that our new computers will not read. I am in the process of recopying them to new discs. I read them on the old drive and burn new discs on the newer drives so that I can access them as needed. I think this may become a common task. The information from you, Art, and others may help in makeing the new copies more reliable and useable in the future.
