Much better... MOST (not all but most) CDRW drives will be no problem. You have an 8x burner, so it's apparently a relatively recent unit. Chances are there is some setting that got changed in Disc Juggler that is FUBAR'ing your burn.

##### to see if you have a larger image than the disc you're burning to. You may be able to squeeze a couple of extra megabytes out of a "too-small" blank by using OVERBURN (in the Advanced tab). If your disc is adequate size for the image you're burning, and you still get these errors, it may be that other settings have gotten changed that are affecting your burn. Most settings are adopted from the CDI, so I don't know which ones if any could be doing this.

It may also be the .CDI image file that's giving you grief. I've had some .CDI files that just simply didn't work - so I extracted their contents using CDMAGE and reburned them manually using Echelon's self-boot instructions.

now tell me what settings i should have on... and why is the ram at zero?... please drop your two centz... thank you! oh and by the way i cant find cdmage or the other program you mentioned... help me out

Someone else will have to chime in with the location of CDMAGE. It was suggested to me, I downloaded it and promptly forgot where I got it from... Sorry. Bravo_Boy? Sixdsix?? Do either of you recall where CDMAGE is located?

The reason your RAM is at zero? Do you mean the available space on the disc after the first session? If so, that's likely because Disc Juggler is closing your disc (finalizing it), so it can't be written to again. If this isn't what you mean, please elaborate.

As for settings, Disc Juggler installs with the correct settings already set. The only thing you might want to set that isn't default is the OVERBURN, found in Advanced... Even OVERBURN only works on some drives, so if you try Overburn and you get errors if you burn one or two meg over the size of the disc, it could be the disc or the drive that can't handle the overburn.
