quoth Mike Reinehr: | Following up on what Net Llama & Roger have said, what type of CD is | it, CD-R or CD-R/W? Have you noticed your CD drive laboring to read | the CD, i.e., seeming to thrash and then failing? I have a CD reader | that is only about a year or so old, which can not read CD-R/W's, no | matter how slowing burned. It would labor for what seemed an eternity | and eventually just give up. It had no problem with CD-R's, however. | I replaced the drive with another, newer one of a different make and | the problem went away.
it was a plain old cd-r; it was recorded at 24x (which itself is something that i worry about -- when i burn 'em i do it at 1x, because i think that burning cds is not the place to push it *at all*). anyway, problem of getting data to hard drive is solved -- i had my friend .tgz the whole 150 megs of data and mail the result to me, which taught us that we have very forgiving mail servers . . . and now i dive into it, hoping that i have paid today's dues. thanks to everyone for your help. -- dep Writing takes no time. It's finding something to say that takes forever. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
