You can verify this by checking the contents of the CDs; if there's only one large file, that's the problem. How to restore a .iso file to a CD is dependent on your CD-recording software; for example, with Roxio software on Windows, you should be able to right-click on the .iso file and choose Record to CD. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
