with that being said and looking at the readme's for the cdrecord program, I don't think you will even be able to use the 80min CD's to their utmost capacity. I would also read the README on the CDRECORD because if you are using a Sony CD-R there are some things that aren't yet supported with that cd. Including but not limited to multi-session creation. On the Sony it isn't supported. -Al > I know I'm using Outlook Express [WIndows] but my HD Hard Drive died and I'm > waiting for my new one to arrive in a couple of days.

I know I'm using Outlook Express [WIndows] but my HD Hard Drive died and I'm waiting for my new one to arrive in a couple of days. But I had a similar problem to yours, what is the MODEL and the Make of Your CD-R Drive? Some CD-R support 80 Min CD, some don't. Since 80 Minute CD-R aren't defined in the Rainbow Books Specifications. For example, Sony doesn't support them saying that they violete Rainbow Books rules. [The Rainbow Books define the begining and end of the data track on CD-Rs and thus the length of the data track.So for 80 minute CD-Rs, they have to pack the pits closer then what is specifed in Rainbow Books [they define two standards, one for 74Minute and one for 63Minute]]. Rainbow Books is the name of the set of books that definte the CD Standards [they have Orange, Blue, Red, Yellow but I don't remember which one is for which]. By your post, I assume your CD-R doesn't support 80 Minute CDs. Try the following: 1. Try to read the 80 Minute CD-R Disc from teh CD-R Drive, if that works your CD-ROM doesn't support 80 Minute CD's 2. Try to see if there's a FirmWare update on it and if there is try to update the firmware, maybe they added 80 Minute CD-R Support. Otherwise, no luck.
