Plextor based on your and Rod's recommendation.

Here's something interesting. I just installed a Memorex on the computer my son uses, and Nero came with it. Nero's licensing agreement was okay. But check this out. With Plextor came a Roxio and Oak Technology software packages. Both had licensing agreements that said that I agree that these programs would go online at times and download "security updates" that would disable certain burner functions (I guess if I was violating copyright laws or something). I don't really understand what these security updates are. But, I had an idea. I got the burner to back up business files because they're getting too big for floppies. I don't have that much Linux stuff to back up. So I was thinking that if I could get Linux to work the burner, I could use Linux to back up the Windows work files, and then uninstall the privacy invadiing Roxio. So here's another use for Linux. Windows users with CD burners should have a small Linux partition just to use cdrecord to protect their privacy. At any rate, Windows users need to read the licensing agreements.
