And where do I get this stuff? Anybody giving free Windows XP out there? ;-)

Sorry to hear about your problems. I've had completetly opposite 
experiences to Mike -- lots of problem when burning on Windows (well, 
truth is it was some 5 years back I run any Windows on my boxes :) and 
only when I eventually switched completely to Linux I had 100% reliable 
burning. The only failures were to due to bad media or myself really 
loading up the machine with very CPU+HD+network intensive tasks. And 
that my experience since Mandrake 6 through RH 7.3, RH 9 and FC3 on SCSI 
Teac 4x recorder and later on Pioneer 105 DVD recorder.

I felt I neede to add my comment to this rather depressing thread. Hope 
your problems will get fixed, guys!

Dariusz
