I've cleaned mine with a "cd lens cleaning" kit a number of times. It's made by Lexium, with two sets of hairs about midway through the disk. That's usually the *first* thing I do if I've been inside the box since the last time I burned a CD. More than once, that's solved the problem for me. I've got a 3.5 year old Yamaha that's still burning backup disks every week. > Hoping your burner is not toasted Mine isn't. I hope Dan's isn't either. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
