I had an awful time getting data from an old CD-RW I made with EasyCoaster Creator a long while back. I believe I had to d/l the crap software on a Windows machine (lucky I had access to one with a burner), get the files onto the computer, then re-burn as a regular ISO. For me, proof I was doing the right thing by getting out of all that proprietary crap. Todd
