Hi BC,

**Double burning**  .. :  Thought that K3B made a mistake when problem
happened then used nero on windows.

**Check cd**..: In the beginning  * no *. After my mail I tried to press
enter when icons popped-up. It did take me up to the menu.
When I pressed the check option it also went into the scrolling lines.
All options does the same except  *check memory*.

Pclinux I downloaded and burned with same writer.
The others got from a distro supplier.

All operating systems on this laptop is 32-bit.

Trust this may be of assistance.
