Ok, I tried to -fdsk /dev/hdc7 to fix my Linux, but that didn't work, so I just uninstalled and reinstalled. I did a minimum install and it works just fine. I can see my Windows C: drive where I want to rescue the data. The only problem is that Linux acts like it won't mount my CD Burner drive and my CDROM drive. I right click, and click mount, and I come back with an error. But, if I left click on the drive, then it works? Also, I don't think XRoast loaded on my machine, how do I load that from YAST? I will do some reading up on the manuals this weekend, but anymore help will be great. I'm sure I'm gonna get this. Also, my e-mail response time will be a bit slower, cause my other Windows machine went into DLL hell and I can't access any of the icons on the desktop. When will my computer troubles end? thanks, -Chris Miller

I use Yast2 in KDE2's KControl. Go to Software, and then follow the prompts. Just run a search for "xcdroast" and see if you can find it. Then install it. It should install any software that isn't already installed that it needs.

When you ultimately just give up on Windows, and go 100% linux. I had many many problems, until I decided to stop playing around and make a decision. My decision was Linux, and I have yet to regret it.

I could be wrong, but I think I remember somewhere reading that you have to be root in order to burn CD's. I could be wrong and If so I'm sure I'll get corrected - but try as root and see. Cheers. Curtis On Saturday 02 June 2001 11:20 am, CM Miller wrote:
