I've tried two disks and two drives, so I'd say the odds are that neither is the problem. And of course my drives work fine for everything else. I just wrote a CD for a photo client. No problem. I did talk to Godders about this a while back, but I'm sure he'll pick up on it again. I'll try MacFixIt.com. That sounds like a good resource. I think unplugging peripheral drives and removing cards might help as well. Two CD drives might confuse things. And I have an ancient SCSI card in one slot. (I need it to read photo files that I once put on ZIP disks.) Paul On Feb 26, 2007, at 7:32 AM, Cotty wrote:
