Hi all I thought this thread was dead after the remarks of someone who thinks the meaning of life is to force his opinion about my way of posting... Still, the cd isn't copy protected. It is, in fact, three years old and has seen more of the carpet then my vacuum cleaner. That, and the fact that rented dvd's frequently cause the same problem (even worse, soundcard stuck in passthru because xine crashed) only emphasises my original assesment that a bad medium causes real problems with FC. I have no idea whatsoever as to how the os handles removable media, but it seems that it is not limited to physical media. For instance, try umounting an nfs share when the server "sharing" is down. Bad sectors on media are detected and logged, so how about trying to read three times, if it still fails, abandon, unlock the volume, and signal the program that the disk is no longer mounted or is corrupted.
