I use eroaster (gui) which is VERY easy to configure - its mostly done for you. I may be mistaken but IIRC, if you don't fixate the cd then you can't read the data until it has been fixated. After I click "Burn CD" I just select "CD-R", "fixate CD when done" and "multisession CD". Then I can read the data immediately and then add more data to the same cd. (Also if IIRC) the only thing to watch is that this method uses something like 30 MB (not sure if this figure is correct) in between burn sessions to record each session but I don't mind that. I've never had a coaster (yet) and I burn cdrw @ 4x, cdr @ 8x - except music cds @ 4x on a 10x HP 9310i burner Please correct me If this info is wrong. Cheers Sharrea -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
