a lot of people have problems with dc selfbooters
i must have made about 20+ coasters i did however manage a copy of quake 3 after about 5 attempts with my memorex 1622i ,but i did finally decide to get a new cd burner a Hp 9300 and now i am churning the ####ers out no problems at all i am not particularly endorsing that particular burner ,i am saying any decent up to date burner is essential for these particular games its a big investment but you should recover your losses if you sell them to your friends and stuff ,so stop wasting cds if your machine isnt up to it
