Yes, the original offending CD-R was unsuccessfully written with Adaptec
CD-Direct. That has to be the worst CD-writing software ever.
Anyway, the offending CD-R doesn't bother me too much. What bothers me
more is the fact that when I boot up Windows NT, there is no way to
access the CD-ROM drive! There is no "D:\" choice in the explorer and
trying to write "D:" in the DOS prompt yields an error message. (I
wrote "E:\" above, sorry about that.)
