OK - I guess the 12X only refers to speed and not capacity.

But now I'm really confused. First of all, I didn't use a CD writing program - I dragged the files onto the CD using My Computer. But I used Nero Disk Info as you suggested, and it shows file sizes adding up to 426 MB, it says there are 117 MB available, but the total capacity is 423 MB!
These numbers just don't add up and make no sense to me.

X is for speed recognization. 1x = 150Kbps. That means your CD can handle 1800 Killo Byte Per Second when data is read or written by your CD-Writer. Your writer will try to auto adjust the writing speed according to your CD. E.g. if you have writer with 52x32x52x specifications that means it can write at 52x, re-write at 32x speed and read at 52x speed. If you have 12x Blank CD then your write and cd writing software will try to auto adjust the speed to maximum supportted by your blank media.

To check the appropriate disk size and usage, you should try features of your CD Writing Program. E.g. if you are using Nero 6 then there is a tool called Nero Info Tool or in Nero Express there is a button under More called Disc Info. Which will give you the exact information about the disc size and usage.

Hope this help, let us know!
