Check out the column by Jerry Pournelle on W2K and CD-Rewrites on www.Byte.com
W2K, Adaptec and CD-Rewriteables don't mix (yet).

The only problem I came across when researching the purchase of the CDRW drive for my PC was that the Adapte software has some (generic) issues with Win2000. A tech support guy at IBM said that Adaptec has a patch for the issue, but when I called Adaptec tech support (pre-purchase), I got a clueless person that couldn't even find info on the patch. Since I decided to stay on Win98, I didn't need to pursue it further. The IBM guy said that a possible workaround for Win2000 is to a specify slower copy rate within the Adaptec program.
