Seems like the message is simply saying that a 'CD-RW high speed' drive can't use CD-RW discs. If you look at the newer CD-RW discs, the logo actually says CD-RW high speed on them. They are not the same, and you can use the interchangeably. CD-RW is 1x to 4x, CD-RW high speed is 4x and up. Plextor's media compatibility list has no CD-RW media under 4x listed for that drive as compatible. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
