Oh, bugger. I forgot about that... Of course, Michael is right. Make sure the re-write software you have used in the past is the same now. The disk writing software drivers are formatted to work specific ways. And many of them are not interchangeable! Network nazi's still apply. You know, as an aside; you might want to consider a USB flash disk, they are indecently cheap now (under $50.00) and are really really convenient, without the software problems you may have experienced with the RW disk. They can hold more too. Warren Lewington Technical Writer Metso Minerals Arndell Park, Sydney. NSW, Australia.
