No, it's readin.

And, with another disk burned (from the same batch of disks), from a
different drive (my CD-RW drive, this time, primary on the secondary
IDE). Same error. I think I'm going to buy a DVD. I don't trust the
burning software on my mom's laptop at this point, nor do I trust the
remaining disks I have.

I haven't, it should be noted, tried them on another computer. I'll do
so tomorrow to verify one way or another.

So until then I'll just lurk around for a while.
