Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on the problem I was having getting a CD "burned" properly.  All the help files with the software were of no help (HP MyCD).  Adaptec Easy Creator help files didn't have the answer either.  But, the clue about having a fast hard disk gave me a clue.  My hard drive is only a year old, so I knew it was fast enough.  But, I began to wonder about the Bus Mastering controller.  I've suspected something odd about it the past couple of years (strange CD-ROM drive behavior).  The motherboard is a Soltek 54U5 with VIA MVP3 chipset.  I was using the drivers from Soltek for my Windows 95 OS.   I installed Windows 98.  It already includes the VIA controllers.  Everything was fine.  Then, I used the updated drivers from Soltek and the problem of not burning a CD began again.  I removed the controller from Device Manager, rebooted and let 98 load its own.  Everything is fine again.
