1) use real 700M blanks - do not try overwriting 650M (they will say they burned right, but they didn't) 2) use a relatively new CD burner (if it burns less than 4x, forget it) 3) use cdrecord -v (that will warn you if it detects a problem with burning the CDs) 4) use a very good CD drive to read the CDs. CD1 was sized at very close to the limits of any drive to read. 5) Win XP's built-in burn app is useless - it calculates 700M as 700 * 1000 * 1000 and adjusts offsets the same way. TOC ends up being wrong. ( correct math - 700M = 700 * 1024 *1024 ) -- Murray J.
