Weird...
Sounds like you're mounting it in a format that restricts drive labels to
8 characters (MS-DOS?). what burning sw are you using?
I've had no trouble at all using YDL CDs burned in Toast 4.x. They don't
boot 'cause I'm on an Old World machine, but I can mount them (well, they
automount now) and read them and everything just fine.
