How do I stop this and just burn data to it? It's trying to format it in
that Live bs; Master's grayed out and not choosable.

This is extremely frustrating. Worked fine in XP.

Never mind. Think it's bad hardware. Sigh.

What exactly do you mean when you say "it's trying to format it in that Live
bs"? Are you getting any errors when you try to burn data to your CD-R's?
