Thanx for the replies guys! I do appreciate the advice. I am trying to burn w/ Prime Peripherals 80 min cd-rw. I have now tried burning boot disk w/ DJ 2.x, CloneCD, and Nero 5.x all unsuccessfully. When I installed Nero it warned me to remove Adaptec DirectCD, which I did not since I have never received any error messages w/ DJ or Clone. (thoughts on conflict?) Also when I tried to burn w/ Nero 5.x by double clicking on the .nrg file, it told me that session needed to be written as track at once and not DAO (not supported or unable to write) and that image most likely needed to be DAO. but i could continue anyway at my own risk. Thanx for your support
