Thanks Paul. I found a couple of sites with stuff like this but didn't
try installing because I hate Windows installs where I don't think I
know what's going on. I use these Windows machines to trade futures
and don't want some lame brain installer to mess up my system. You
know Windows. It's a mess and dangerous to install anything. I liked
the Cygwin idea, even if it's not simple, because it seems that
there's no odd Windows stuff getting installed other than Cygwin
itself which I think is just a dll or two.

Since Joerg has suggested that the problem is a combination of a long
standing bug in the kernel (Really? That sort of thing is allowed to
propagate?) combined with my drives which are Lite-On and Joerg says
they have bad firmware, it seems to deal with the hang-up running
readcd I need to do the work on this specific machine. On the other
hand, if all I want to work on is the original topic - the bad CD
copies - then I guess I could do that anywhere and it would be easier
to just grab another Gentoo machine as it will have other drives.

Anyway, thanks,
Mark
