Hello; When I fire up k3b and go to: settings->Configure k3b->Devices It says that the drive will not write DVD+R(RW)S That is not correct, it does and works under XP. I upgraded the BIOS to 1.10 with the same result. Thanks Mick M. Dogs have Masters - Siamese Cats have Staff! __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
