The first generation DVD drives did have did preclude the user from reading "gold" CD-Recordable disks because their lasers had a tendency to rewrite data on the disks. I have it from IBM that the 770 will be using a 2nd generation DVD drive that will allow the use of CD-R disks. --- Gregg Ginsberg executiveONE R&D MCI Telecommunications Phone: 202-887-3045, v220-3045 Gregg.Ginsberg@MCI.Com
