>>did you happen to notice when your drive was manufactured? April 99 >> Have you tried the Smart and Friendly 4x media with the Yamaha yet? Naw. Decided to wait until after I received 'em <gg>. Ordered only the RW media. I have plenty of CD-R blanks. >>experiences you have with media would be much appreciated I've used the TDK CD-R blanks from the Price Club exclusively. Not that they're necessarily better but that they're cheap, like me <g>. These claim to be certified for up to 6x, though I noticed the other day that current Price Club stock claims 8x. In any event, I have never had a problem with the medium, though I sure had a problem with the burn software till I got Easy CD Creator (3.5). Since then, zero, zip. However, I've not burned a normal CD on the Yamaha yet. Looks like the Adaptec packet writer (Direct CD, I think it's called) is writing at 2x. Didn't find a configuration option, but I haven't looked too hard. In truth, I don't care much because it runs in the background and uses very little overhead when somethings being copied. Let 'er rip, says I <ggg>. The upshot is that I haven't burned anything at 4x yet. My 20 gig (x7200) Maxtor arrived late yesterday. Heavy little sucker. I'm going to try to put it in tonight and see if I can boot NT from a 7.8 gig partition.
