Last resort would even be operating directly on the drive by installing new heads, though this is a bit advanced. It truly is shocking what now qualifies for an "expert".

He made the ISO as shown on SR's pop-up screed and burned it to a CD-RW (no special tricks, etc; just burned it to the CD-RW like you would burn any data) with a fairly new version of Roxio. I have NO IDEA why I could never get it to work with Nero6 as Nero6 copied the CD-RW with no problem. Hope this helps someone out there as I understand quite a few have had this problem.

GRC no longer provides ANY support, tel#, Email address or physical location so I am afraid I am out of luck. Can you provide a link as to how to create a bootable version of SR6. Tried several times w/Nero 6, also a legal version, Thanks, Posey I have my own, legally registered copy of SR6 but can’t successfully create the CD that is supposed to be creatable.
