Well, congrats to hutter1 - who's 'hide media type' option, actually got it to work!

Question 1: Is this a common problem with Protection (or just the really new ones?)

Question 2: I play my games on a diffent system anyway, so I assume I'll have to put alcohol on there now... but do you reckon there will be a way of burning a cd-r to make it think it is a CD-ROM in future versions - or am i talking crap?

But thank you V.MUCH for all the help so far - my headache seems better already!

P.F - very happy
