I tried writing the disk on a Win 10 machine, and it threw an error that the source would not fit on one l disk. Now, Poly, the price of a DVD drive is minimal. Why not just swap out your antic CD-ROM drive and install a DVD. You don't have to go the Blue-ray route, unless you want to. If, for some reason you cannot fit it into the case, just get an external model. Problem solved. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/+yRqe65O0WeW8bO1BUeFP2R Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl7ouZUACgkQOHMGOIfe xWTdfQgAwcp5MpYeycyvoKUZKAZSQkOM8X19k4oVPRyAYb6G57SD7TF9izj8j9YP giRYcR5MTy8IAJXZldNL5Ga/2S92K85pk/g6088Bi/cuK5Ry46LEuNG09rKW4lWK bMDBXvtkrRzr/d5T5CWcitF4Z88N++yw7k1VLCsdDCYQBkkxrwgY7ThK6TGeta8T PQ4+4C6+UzaB9kbLq3CG4/tIjfTw9rmdQOOlPWtrrkYxwrU8uor4ozek+bPK1F5P te1wTUzBqN0XJEjZ90fhhK3yqniH/LhmfOvSwCggchOnJjnGbzZjjSrhIR6gH5vv 3jTCWri31biifL8jD78Q2s61fJj4SA== =73Eb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/+yRqe65O0WeW8bO1BUeFP2R--
