- I use the Big Blue Reader to format the disks as HD, even though I use
- LRR for daily use.
-
- I don't know if anyone else has the problem, but for me, if I have a DD

- disk everything works great, but if I start off with a HD disk, LRR
- crashes to la-la-land.

- It's something I often forget about as I usually stick with DD disks
- anyway.
