I've done this, and I want to say that I DO NOT recommend it. It's a pain in the butt do and very time consuming. Assume that about 1 out of 10 disks or so will be bad and you'll need to recreate it before continuing. Not sure how many disks it takes now, but it's over 20. -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
