I actually did try burning one of those CDs at a lower speed (4x, I believe
-- should've mentioned that originally). I am *almost* positive that I've
got the drive set up as master, but I will doublecheck this at home tonight.
Would it help to know the detailed specs of the machine? All I can come up
with off the top of my head is that it's a Duron 650. I'll post more
tonight hopefully..
Thanks for the suggestion....
