Can't help with the fact that the Yamaha doesn't recognize the disks after burning. However, I've found that many standard cd players don't recognize CD-RWs. You could try putting one of the disks in a drive, and launch Drive Setup. See if the disk appears there. At least then you will know whether or not the system is actually seeing it and just not mounting it. -Peter Chastain -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
