Is the RW disk showing as totally blank? How was it burned, packet writing
or as 'multisession ISO' ? Might take a look at the disk with a program such
as ISO Buster and see if anything is on the disk. Packet writing will do
some 'funny' things...I would first try ISO Buster and see if any data is on
the CDRW disk.
