Re: saving files to a re-writable disc "SingaporeWebDesign" <SingaporeWebDesign_ng2[ at ]bootstrike.com> 5/28/2007 7:16:49 PM Hello, You will need to use the "sonic" program to continue writing to the CD as XP does not know how the session data is stored. Or you can erase the CD-RW to a blank and use XP to write the files.

Re: saving files to a re-writable disc Paul MR <mbm701[ at ]yahoo.com> 6/28/2007 5:21:29 AM These sites were probably extremely useful at one time. Now, even a beginner like me can see that much of their information is more than five years old and, therefore, obsolete in computer terms. But a beginner like me does not know enough to distinguish exactly which information is no longer usable and possibly even dangerous. So, in an excess of caution, a beginner like me steers clear of the whole of the writings.

Consider that Windows XP *is* 5+ years old. While some of the links below have information in them that is 5+ years old - it is still valid if you are utilizing Windows XP - and most of the links given have been updated here and there as needed. Example: http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.htm Last Updated May 9, 2005 So - in this case - old information does not necessarily equate to obsolete. When you choose to utilize 5+ year old technology (Windows XP), you can expect some of the information others would consider obsolete to be quite current for your needs. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
