Unfortunately, you cannot currently use a CD-writer as a CD-reader. Until someone merges (?) the worm and CD drivers, you cannot read CDROMs from a CD-writer. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
