i know the problem - i had a 56x rom in my pc, it got so hot with a cheap(er) CDR in it the silver top of the disk peeled away and i took 3 hours cleaning the drive. Utter uslesness concidering it takes 1. longer to spin up and 2. the speed of data transfer is not that greater anyway, id rather wait a few seconds longer than 35mins to reburn a CDR. The best drive(s) i ever had were my samsung SCR32-32 and my old pioneer super10x
