duh, for some reason my computer only reads the "non working" CD the
working one is un read even though I have burned CD's with it today

did dd an iso image but I still can't get the X-CD-Roast to burn a
bootable copy,  all 650mb of data gets onto the cD but it won't boot...

I know I'm doing something dumb here but can't figure out what it is. was
easy when it was just "Clone" the CD but my second read only CD drive
decided to fail on me, considering how much time I've wasted it would have
been easier to stuff in another CD drive...but now I've gotten
"determined" that I'm gonna make this work...and the internet has been no
help what so ever

Thanks
Bob
