I download the iso (saving it to disk with the iso extension), drop a blank CD-RW in the drive, and double-click on the downloaded file icon. The Adaptec software fires up and I just tell it to burn. You might want to do a test run first, but it's very unlikely that you will have to reduce writing speed when burning an ISO image as the source disk is much faster than the burner and it's simply moving the data. About 5 or 10 minutes later, the CD is burned and I'm ready to use it. I'm told that Nero behaves in a very similar manner, but I have never tried it. I have used both Adaptec V3 and V4. I have not tried the newer V5, but I doubt it's changed. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
