Dear friends: Now that my BIOS problem has been resolved (I'm going out momentarily to buy a new keyboard), my last major hurdle before I can install FreeBSD is burning the two FreeBSD ISO images on my CD-RW CD using my CDWriter and Nero 5.5. When I insert my brand new CD-RW (700 MB) into my CD-RW drive and click on "Burn Image" in Nero, then go to my FreeBSD folder, then select the first FreeBSD ISO disk and then hit Write, the writing starts with "Checking disks" in the status bar. But soon it stops and the CD is expelled from the CD drive with the error message: "Medium empty. Please put new CD (or whatever) into drive." This happens every time even though each time I put a brand new Memorex CD. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Benjamin

Thank you in advance. > > BenjaminWouldn't that be related to the type of the CD-RW? High-speed CD writers can't use newer Ultra-speed CD-RWs. Can you write anything else on the disks?
