CirKutz and Copytrooper were both right. The whole problem was not as complicated as it sounded. I just was frustrated because first, I used a Plextor to try copy C-Dilla material. Second, by the time I bought and received my lite-on, I had attempted about a million attempts using my plextor and the same three CDRWs. When I tried using my lite-on, the CDRWs were no longer good media. Finally Copytrooper and CirKutz set me straight. Thank you very much!!!
