Now I'm confused. I'm not sure if this method is preferrable in my application. I'm creating a test application that will be installed on many field service laptops. I believe the method you are speaking of will require manual setup for each laptop which is undesirable. Also, I'm not sure if this method will close the CD after it is written to so it can be used on most CD drives. Maybe I'm wrong. As of now, I think Rolf's suggestion is preferrable. Please inform if you find something better. I appreciate your time and efforts.

Why not miunt the CDR disk as a hard drive and write to it using common file IO functions? Any drawbacks to this?
