I finally got my regular CD drive replaced with a burner. I wanted this mostly to store photos. I'm sooo green at this!
I bought a 50-stack of blank CD's, and a 5-pack of R/W CD's--the ones you can apparently reuse? I have many hundreds of pictures stored on my hard drive--well-organized into folders. Trouble is, I still add new pictures to these folders. Can you create folders on a CD and add things to them? If so, do you have to use the R/W variety, and does adding things to it involve 'reburning' the entire CD? Some people have told me that there IS a limit to how many times you can successfully reuse/rewrite a CD? Is there any way to add things to a regular CD? (not the R/W). Or are they basically a one-time-use thing? The salesman was babbling something about being able to use the entire space on a regular CD, over time, as long as you didn't "finalize" it? I've not happened across an option like that yet. The software "Nero Express" was included with the burner. The instructions consisted of a Quick-Start" pamphlet. I can "copy an entire CD" with no problem, but what I really want to do is get these photos off my machine onto CD's, be able to organize them into their proper folders, and add more photos to folders as necessary. Is there a good web site that might explain all of this? I really don't want a terribly technical explanation--just some basic theory. I found this site, but it was quite technical and did not tell me what I want to know: http://www.howstuffworks.com/category.htm?cat=Comp It's a fun site to poke around on, though!
