I forgot to mention that I am using Toast Titanium 5.2.  I am burning 
from the HD.  It is a 120 GB Western Digital IDE drive with three 
partitions.  Panther is installed on the second partition which is 80 
GB.  That is where Toast and the source are located.  Right now, there 
is about 3.2 GB available on that partition.
