Good luck!
I often have trouble with those high speed CDs -- one of the symptoms is
that I hear them sort of cycle (either on and off or from a low speed
to a high speed) -- I suspect that sometimes the software expecting to
get something from the CDROM times out while the drive is accelerating

I, for one, have no need for anything that fast. If I was using the drive to
house a massive data store, and needed to access that from a program in a
timely manner, I could see the benefit. Still, I think that such a need is a
very small percentage of users. This is where marketing hype gets in th
In some cases the problem may be the cd label but a recent article
that I had read (don't remeber where) had put the blame on the way
that the newer faster drivers clamp and hold the cd's by putting the blame on poor

I agree with John in that peeling material off the back of a CD can be
hazardous to it. The backing material must be 100% intact at all times. If
the coating should be worn, dissolved (from peeled off glue) or scratched,
the laser will pass through instead of reflecting off the backing. The
