The funny thing is this, it works if it has to erase the CD before 
burning the new data.  It spits my try out and pulls it back in just 
fine then.  Why can it do it when doing the erase then burn but not do 
it when it is going from the burn to the verify stage?  Good question huh?

I'm still thinking K3b myself.
