You are and you aren't encouraging piracy ;-) The disks I have are
illegally copied, but I'm only using them to reinstall an os for which
the guy already has a license but no media.
And yes, I am sure. I've worked with this machine before. He has never
been able to read a cdr, and I couldn't make it work either. I've run
into it before working on older laptop machines.
I'll give the slower speed option a try, but lets assume that doesn't
work. How do I swing this?
