Or does it have a lot of dirt and scratches? Try cleaning it up a bit and see if it reads on your desktop Mac. If not, try it on another CD drive (e.g. an external CD drive on your Mac, or on someone else's computer). If it can still be read, go ahead and copy the entire CD-R to your computer, and then burn a new CD-R. -- Eugene http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
