had a bit of a scare with my computer and although luckily it's now been sorted, it made me think about whjat i'd do if if i couldn't have got it sorted, cos i probably would have lost all my photos of my wedding and of my daughter. so i've sorted them all out into files and am wanting to put them onto disc to keep them safe. only thing i'm confused with is WHATS the best programme to use to put them onto disc??? i have nero express and startsmart on the computer, and understandably wanna get all my inportant photos onto disc asap, so if anyone could advise me/help me i'd really appreciate it. thanks for reading, emma xStartsmart is the easy user menu for nero express. There are differnt versions with slightly different setouts but it is GOES something like following

Put a blank CD in the drive. START up startsmart - select make a data CD. In the window that comes up choose the select files to add option. Keep adding files till you get near to the 700MB limit. You will see a moviing bar on the bottom of window showing how much space you are filling. Don't go beyond the red line. When full press the burn button and off it should go. The onscreen help MENUS startsmart gives should help guide you through.Thanks, you're an angel!!! follwed your directions and have now got all my daughters piccies and my wedding piccies on disc and have deleted them from computer so freed up some space for new ones!!!! WELL done but now you only have one copy of them though! If these are really valuable photos it may be wise to make a second set of CD's to keep somewhere safe. Accidents happen and if that CD got damaged or even lost you lose them still.

Go to Startsmart and select copy CD this time, put in the CD with photo's on. It will copy them to a temporary file this time then eject the disc and ask for a blank CD. It will then take the files from the temp file and burn them to the blank.

You will then have a copy you can use when you want to look at them and a safe copy to store away.
