Gone LOL. > > Thanks for the help fellas. About 'Finalising A Disk' OK, from another message you've sent, I think you are using Nero to burn, right? I don't know which version you've got, I'm on V6 here, but I'm pretty sure this bit is the same whatever version you are on. In Nero, it isn't called 'Finalising a disc' as such..When you start the burn process, you will see a tab called multisession..it asks you if you want to start a multi-session disc or no multisession..if you select multi-session, the disc will remain 'open' to have more data written to it, but reading a disc left in this state can be problematical for some drives. I have a writer that will write multi-session discs, but won't read them!! If you are writing a disc that you know you aren't going to want to add anything else to, always select NO multisession. This applies to CD-r or CD-RW discs (Though, obviously, you can stil erase a CD-RW) Cheers Andy To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
