Ed, It doesn't even take re-booting...just shut down the DVD burn program and restart it. It has happened to me 3 times and I am now convinced it happens when I stop burning for a while and then restart. I think XP looks at the "idle" program and dumps unused portions to virtual memory (disk file). When I start burning, instead of the read cache helping the program by having the data to be written to the DVD in RAM, it incurs an additional write and read as the data is "cached" to another location on disk, instead of the intended RAM. I'll try upping the priority when it inevitably happens again. Ira
