Tom could you elaborate so I understand your position clearly?

Hmm, something else to check. If you don't have the diagnostic tools that
ship with most hard drives, do not use chkdsk for this, go to your hard
drive manufacturer's website and download their diagnostic tools, making
note of their instructions for creating their diagnostic boot disk and run
their diagnostic.

The problem may not be bad media but a problem with the hard drive. Even
though you are writing to DVD the hard drive is being used as well and if
the drive is failing or there are bad sectors, this could be the source of
the issue and might also cause a problem writing data to the media as well.

I think that I got it fixed Mike -- after trying a bunch of stuff. It
appears that downloading new firmware for the DVD drive may have fixed
the problem. Unfortunately at the same time I did that I also opened up
additional hard drive space (from 5G to 7G free) and ran defrag even
though XP said it wasn't needed.

Some one of those things seemed to have made it work for the moment
anyhow -- even using the DVD that previously failed. We'll see how it
holds up.

Thanks for your help.

Bill

C'mon guys, there's no problem here, really. Harry was polite enough to
answer with "Oh now see that he made reference...".

I agree. I do usually include original text in my replies when I use
Outlook. The problem is that groups-beta.google.com doesn't do this
automatically. At least, it didn't insert the text when I clicked Reply
then Post.
