While I empathize with your situation, Larry, I believe there is a 
difference. In my situation, the CD-Rs are reported as being 
successfully burned. The problem is not discernible until attempting to 
play in a CD player. Unfortunately, I suspect your problem may be the 
same as mine. Our drives are on their way to that eternal sleep. ;0)
