Hello there, I recently upgraded to Tiger and this morning attempted to prepare a disk to burn my wife¹s school report files. I selected the files on the desktop and dragged them into the window for the disk, but was surprised to see that all of the files had become alias files. I dragged them again and got another set of alias files. I can¹t remember what I did exactly next though I did remove the cd - but much to my surprise I have a pile of alias files sitting on the desktop, none of which links to any original files. I cannot find the original files anywhere. I reinserted the cd, but can¹t drag alias files on to it. Could it be that the files types have been changed to alias, preventing me from opening them?
I now understand that creating alias files is actually a normal part of a new process of burning to disk......wish I knew that at the time! Have I lost the originals? Thanks for any advice....I fear my wife is NOT going to be impressed! Greg
