Are you referring to Adaptec's "Direct CD" software? Reading plain CD-RW discs (which is what "Easy CD Creator" makes) is just a hardware issue, but the pseudo-hard-drive CD-RWs made with "Direct CD" would indeed depend on special software. I could never get that software to work at all for me and heard of a lot of people having much trouble with it. Adaptec's tech support was so bad I vowed never to buy anything from them EVER. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
