If you look at /dev/wcd0c with 'ls -l' you can see why it is that you haven't got permission to write to it. The quick and easy fix is to: chmod 666 /dev/wcd0c Of course your security policy might require a bit more rigour than that! ;) Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.
