***Moving To LIH*** Hi, This is more suitable for LIH ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as techinal queries are resolved on that list. So I am shifting it there. Follow-ups there please. I have come across this problem in two cases: 1. Old/Dirty CD-ROM drive. 2. Iffy CDs like Chinese Pirate CDs (Yes... I know I'm going to hell because I used pirate software, no need to rub it in), Gold CDs written on CD-writers that are known to give unpredictable results. I'd vote for 1 because if I am not mistaken "Konark" has been in NCST for donkey's years. Can anybody throw some light on what's actually happening? Is my cause/effect assumption correct? Kedar? Nikhil? Rohit(If you've sobered up yet)?
