Whoa... I installed Mandrake 9 when it released and it did the same thing. I thought my cd burner had fried. When I got another one, it worked fine for both. I kept the "fried" one for a while and stuck it in another box I was putting together (just to make sure it was fried before throwing it away) and there was nothing wrong with it. Glad to see it wasn't just in my head. lol (I like the drake, though... It's what I usually recommend for people who are wanting to try something other than windows and don't have the knowledge (desire to learn) necessary to build up a system of their own). Mike
