Thanks for that, I seem to have found my particular problem now though. I cut
the disk onto a blank that I was given a while back. My old burner refused to
acknowledge them in the drive, but my new one burnt them without problems. On

tiny pinpoints. I knew there was a good reason I didn't buy cheap CDs myself!
