Hey Creaky, You were right from the very beginning. The drive just crapped out. I spent 7 bucks to ship it back express (and mostly to track). It got to their shop in Ca where I live (100 miles or so), and they shipped a new burner out to me. Whole process took 8 days. I can't complain. Thanks for your help. Next time, please just tell me to do what you said! I'd have more hair. Nihz
