I get the BBC magazine with their excellent cd each month. Combined on on the disc is a cd-Rom discussing the music. I couldn't get it to work in the cd and cd-r drives I have. After a session with a Dell technician, he found that it wouldn't work with the Gatesware they factory install. I understand that the problem has been corrected in later machines off the assembly line or that the cds have been revised, but I haven't tried again.
Kendall, I can't help, but I had the thought that it erases the second time through if it doesn't like the music. (he! he! he!)
