Thanks for the advice.  Not sure I will want another Creative CD-RW drive.
What are some good cd-rw drives on the market? In town I only have access to
Circuit City and CompuForce when it comes to buying computer components.
May have to get on on-line.  Please if you know of some or a few cd-rw
drives that are good, let me know.  Thanks again everyone.
