Mike--- I suggest you burn another CD, as it looks like that one has a bad spot where it is trying to access that bit of information. I suggest you burn it at a slower speed, possibly half the speed from your first one. It may be that brand of CD-R as Warly also suggested.
Warly suggested that you do that because of the error information you submitted. --Bill ======= Mike Eheler wrote: >>1. burn a new CD >> > >Pointless.
