Thanks, Jacob. I'll try it and report what happens. If as suggested the drives are bad and I have to replace, is there a reason the writer would sometimes work, that is it seems happy to burn music files but not data? Can't be that I'm using the wrong type of disk to do the job. I have both music and data CDs (tho' I've never really noticed the difference before in years past).
