I understand the second reference to CDs, and I followed
the first reference (loverd the movie!) click for click.

BUT my XP Pro / FAT32 won't write to the A: drive, to a
compressed folder on C:\ or to a regular folder on C:\ so
I'm wondering:

- are these also design features?
- is there some way that I can make it woerk?
