Hello, from someone with less hair than before the weekend! First my win98 system fat went down then reinstalled ok, then went down again. I thought I'd upgrade Linux and that reported serious errors. SO now I've used the whole hard drive for linux (but will, perhaps, get another drive for win98 for the children's games, etc.). Had I backed up my important stuff onto CD's - NO! because I was having problems with the software. X-CD-Roast seemed promising and, having set it up, I seemed to be able to write to CD's but I couldn't read them after on Linux or another Winbox. Having installed Mandrake 9.1 I saw K3b, which seems easy to setup and use. I wrote a single session data CD onto 650MB (74min) CD-R and all seemed to be alright (except that fixating seemed to take a long time). But, I can't read the CD on either of my two machines. The drive is a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R1002 combi drive which seems to be accurately recognised by the setup app and emulating a SCSI. Any thoughts?
