Tim said this was off topic but it begs an little help even from this list. (don't we use CDs in PowerMacs) I do.
Tim was right, the label has nothing to do with anything inside what your computer reads or understands. It's there for human data eye input only. Remove the lable and the optical reader inside the machine could care less. If your machine is having trouble reading the CDs or DVDs it may be an internal reader problem and remember not all CDs or DVDs are compatible with all machines. IF..., your machine read the disk and now it doesn't it may be severely scratched. You may polish it out with toothpaste and your finger. I have a CD missing a silver dollar size chunk out of one side. My CD player was able to take all the information off this disk and make a new one. Obviously the data was NOT in the part missing. I am running an old 8 speed burner. DO NOT try this in one of those high speed machines or you would have pieces of disk everywhere and a destroyed machine. Two notes about DVD CD burners and ROM. The old slow ones do not have the read problems with scratched or dented disks the new fast machines do. Also, magnetic storage degrades over time. Laser storage will not unless heated. All your old floppies, eight tracks, cassetts, reel to reel, and wire storage should be converted to DVD if possible. always, Barb http://www.BarbieLee.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Model Makers A Change of Heart~Passion of the Soul ask for them at your favorite book store -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
