There hasn't been any replies to this thread, but after a few days of hacking away at the problem, i've resolved it myself.

.exe means it's a Windows application. Chances are it's useless on anything other than windows. If the exe is supposed to be a self-extracting archive, then StuffIt Expander will be able to extract its contents even though you can't run the program. .sit is a format primarily used on Macs, although they're not used so often anymore.

Doesn't sound good. I believe I saw a similar error from Toast. My DVD burner was defective. I had it replaced under warranty. That was in my iMac G4. Doug

I have a year old iBook with combo drive. I recently got a new superdrive because the first one had some issues.
