maristuSee this? This is me grinning like a loon. Because IT WORKED! Just when I was about to give up, it worked! Windows just magically loaded again, and I managed to get everything on CDs. Although I can count about 30 new strands of white hair on my head, so I'm still pissed at Bill Gates. I'm still in favor of the public burning of CDs.
Now, here's the not so good part: I had two CDs at hand, one lousy one that cost about 0.50 and a really good one (I assumed) that cost about 1.20. I put my parents' stuff on the cheap one (yup, I'm mean like that...) along with the largest of my ep files ('Red'), and it works just fine. I brought it down to the other computer and opened the ep file and it worked.
The expensive CD, however, doesn't seem to be working. The files are all there (all the other ep files), but when I try opening them, Media Player says that it's an invalid format. I tried copying it to the HD and running it from there, thinking it might have something to do with the CD speed, but it doesn't work that way either. Is there something I'm missing here?
Off to try to find another crappy cheap CD, just to be sure :)
