Wow, you can mount a CD in these things now?  I haven't been keeping up.

Anyway, your progress matches my experiences.  I'm not completely sure,
and I've never run the thing under Win95 with the bundled software, but
the guess I came away with was this was supposed to be some sort of
'feature' -- you're supposed to put a new disk in before the thing will
talk to you again.  

I don't have a Windoze box to try this on to see how it's handled there.
You might try that and see how it works there.  It was a consistent error
and didn't effect my operation in the least so I let it go.  I highly
discourage people from playing with written CD's in my $600 CD-player, I'd
rather they use the $100 CDrom sitting next to it.  :-)


Good luck and godspeed,

Brian
