I'll warn you straight up ... this is a bit of a guess ... Seems to me that some CD ROMs have buggy ATA interfaces. Since you have both of them connected to the same ATA chain, either one being buggy will cause failure ... I would suggest removing one from the chain, then trying to burn with the other. If that fails, reverse the process. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
