In this context Douglas has said that he had been unable to burn a data disk (not a bootable one, such as I was having a problem with) in XCDRoast. The point I was making was that I frequently burn data disks under XCDRoast and have always found it reliable, even though I normally burn 'on the fly'. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
