Ae you trying to write a dvd iso to a CDwriter (wont work)
Pen drives will usually work ok (Lexar seem good I've got 2) a 1GB
pen drive will hold a lot of important data, remember Applications are
easily reloaded and you can buy an uptodate cd from Castle for the
!Boot Application.
Usb drives from PCWorld will not work with out reformating to adfs, My
expirience is they need the existing partions deleted on a PC first.
