Or was it RW > media? ---- speaking of this...sorry to steal the thread (well not too sorry)... my main workstation (now FC-3, previously FC-1) has always failed writing CD's at the time of fixating (regardless of speed) - it hangs and never finishes. It has always done that - regardless of which brand of media. I haven't bothered with it since I have the identical drive in my Windows XP machine and it works - and another one in my Linux server which works too. I just kind of assumed that there is something wrong with the drive - any suggestions or info to direct me to? Craig
