What I was trying to say is that I can open folders and files on the CD. I am not sure however that the CDs are ok, but I have burnt them myself on 2 deferent burners on 2 different machines using both Roxio and Nero.

I suspect that the problem lies with the CDROM itself. I tried changing if for other CDROMs and the U10 did not find them. Is there some limitation on what CDROMs that can be used with the U10? Rob
