And so our desktops and laptops at > home are all PC and windows-based (some Vista, some XP pro). I had a Win98SE system that I used for years. A guy at work gave me a dead Mac notebook (13" Titanium with dead hard drive), I replaced it and got everything working again and finally upgraded it when the optical drive croaked with a MacBook Pro. So a _lot_ of the recent stuff was on the Mac laptop, more old/archival stuff is on the Win98SE system. I now want to pull off the old stuff from the Win98SE system and ditch it. There's about 2GB worth of stuff that may need to be kept. I divided that up into 625-700MB directories and the plan was to burn this stuff to CD's, make sure those are readable and then nuke the drive. Win98SE can start Roxio Easy CD Creator, but when I hit burn, I'm told incompatible media... (it's at home, I'm not) Are there different types of CD media (from Staples) out there? Maybe a session with the Genius bar would help. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly An optimist is a guy without much experience ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
