I also used the Adaptec EZ CD professional, Direct CD and Seagate Backup that came with my Ricoh re-writable CDR with good success with both digital and audio CD's also. Who is NTI and why can't you get them to give you a legal replacement copy of thier software?

That would be illegal if anyone other than the mfg of your CD or the software company (NTI) gave you a replacement copy of the corrupt CD so I doubt you will get any takers on that proposition from this conference (many of us are even offended by your even asking). You can find adaptec's EZ CD Creator for 70-$99. If you go to adaptec's web site (WWW.ADAPTEC.COM), you can order it online, once you order it, you can download EZ-CD creator and install it. You CD-ROM copy will come in the mail within 5 days after you order it. The only problem with that is that Adaptec wants $99 for it and you can find it on the "street" for 70 bucks. --- Maximus/NT 3.01b1 * Origin: Cowboy Country USA!

You can use RASDIAL and START. Just do a RASDIAL /? > LPT1 to get complete instructions and also a START /? > LPT1 to see what you can do with START in a batch file. There isn't more than a page of instructions with each so you can memorize the instructions and then have them self destruct in less than 2 minutes . IE here is my ispdial.cmd file that I use: @echo off cls echo. echo. echo. Dialing Casper Star-Tribune Internet... echo. echo. rasdial "ispname" "username" "password" if errorlevel 1 goto REDIAL1 goto QUIT :REDIAL1 cls echo. echo. echo. Aww CRAP! the Trib is screwed up...Waiting 15 seconds to redial.... sleep 15 echo. echo. Redialing Once.... echo. echo. rasdial "ISPName" "username" "password" if errorlevel 1 goto QUIT cd\netscape START "Netscape" /Dc:\netscape /wait NETSCAPE.EXE rasdial "ISPname" /disconnect :QUIT You can repeat the redial as many times as you want before giving up. You can also get a lot more elegant than I have, but my .CMD file works just hunky dory with any PPP connect. Where ISPname is the name of the setup parameters you setup using RAS (Dial up networking) for your particular ISP. "username" would be the logon username and "password" would be the password your ISP requires you to use. As I have done, you -must- include those names using " (quotes). That's how RASDIAL recognizes them as dialup setup, username and password and they must be in the above order as you can see there is no command line switch to distinguish each of those parameters only quotes. Quite simple, You may not use it, but I'm pretty others will find dialing thier ISP or any other Dialup connection and then hanging up with a batch file quite useful. --- Maximus/NT 3.01b1 * Origin: Cowboy Country USA!
