>When you'd written this, it HIT me....    like a 2x4 right between the ears.
:)

>You'd asked "Do you have more CD/DVD units ?"  Well, yes I do.  I never had to be concerned about
setting DVD players.  Seemed they all turned out right just the way I put them in.  I did have
another one in there.  I pulled out both (when I was checking for the make/model) and as I was
looking them over, I realized they both had jumpers on them.  I tried them different ways and none
worked until I set the burner as master and the other one as slave....

>The CD reader didn't like being master and the burner as slave....   but indeed they are both now
being read and working....   well, I haven't checked the burner yet, but the reader in it works.

Good ;-)

>You folks never cease to amaze me....    if you don't have an answer, you prod until I figure it
out, and that's good.

That is a good way to work ;) . You can also use different LiveCd and try the hardware in more than one, to see if the problem is related with the distro or with the hardware.

>Thanks for everything so far....   I hope you all don't tire of my problems....   I am a novice to
the extreme at Linux.

Don´t worry. I am a person that is *proud* to be a novice and a GUI-lover. The easier, the best (and the worse for M$).
 
>Now if I can get the Zip Drive working. 
 
I don´t use it. Why don´t you use a USB keydrive?. 
 
Regards. 
 
Pedro.
