And, with another disk burned (from the same batch of disks), from a different drive (my CD-RW drive, this time, primary on the secondary IDE). Same error. I think I'm going to buy a DVD. I don't trust the burning software on my mom's laptop at this point, nor do I trust the remaining disks I have. I haven't, it should be noted, tried them on another computer. I'll do so tomorrow to verify one way or another. So until then I'll just lurk around for a while. --=20 PIT --------------enig3C8C307739A013B50EB654AA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJLRAR+AAoJEENZQ8DH7rW0200IAICurayKjYUpfz2jYMvjYdPt VGoI+uk2Kn8NgRCe698gKNglvex9nWMWp9s8KyEYslsIabTENg7gky4T89BOGE7m x4U0COarcf9ZT0seatPDZq3CCFnjiNmYFxBKZ2grIdV2dyrYLKyNs33k7SbME5IK DESA2tBL4U38Luqwb7BqbK6WakvMSK6zbcjh8hO0wDfmLHAUf7f6YSxdmHrpnxU8 S+Xg4QZzgflhnCd8sdvR74p9xUDvBhbfJQhOPDqanc3Fb1/SgK4MYcHJE+a7KEX6 yahlVnyJz4R/tJX4RE4fWUr2TtZhyKe52IHu5CvUZRRisWlDXDnVSLQ7Cfq3Yyk= =ICqf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig3C8C307739A013B50EB654AA--
