Generally burners do not work through a mount on a drive. They do their work directly to the device. They might not even work on a drive until it is unmounted. I haven't tried that claim to verify it though. If that is true, you would have to unmount the device before running the burner. So, there is no reason to mount a CD/DVD as writable because, from the point of view of a mounted device, it is read only. ////jerry > Thanks, > Edward >
