Well, gang. Thanks for your support (especially Wayne's condolences). Was hoping maybe there was a way to trick the miggy into thinking the disk was a viable one. I have to say though that this was the first disk to go south on me (an Iomega brand-Fuji's haven't failed me ever), and this is my 2nd Zip drive in 6 years. So, my luck's been pretty good with them up till now. CDRs are a pain cause you have to close them in order to read them, no? This Zip disk had about 43 Megs free 
. It did get a lot of miles though, cause it remained in the drive for about 1 1/2 years of power ups/reboots. I'll hold it aside for that 'magic day' when it resurrects itself. Till then Thnaks again, Guys!

No! generally you don`t have to close a CD session if all you are going to do is use it in/on a computer. The only time you really need to close a cd is when you plan to use the cd in hardware than doesn`t support open sessioned cd`s. Such as old audio cd players, Some dvd players (when playing a video-CD) etc, It is getting harder to find newer hardware that doesn`t support reading of opened sessioned cd`s these days. There`s always cd-rw`s.
