To avoid making coasters, my personal preference is to copy the CD to an ISO image on the HDD and burn the disks from them. I keep the HDDs and the CD-RWs on separate IDE channels. This was helpful with the earlier CD-RWs that did not have buffer under run feature. rgds, akk -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
