I'm now using a Plextor 12/10/32A :-) Does someboby know why is always the same problem with a very hard used recorder ? I mean, the physical reason for failing at fixation stage. I've burnt two HP cd-recorder, I did the same with a 7100i and this time I was able to record about a hundred more CDs, now sometimes works with re-writables CDs :( Best regards, FranZ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
