Jeff,

Maybe I'll release my grip a bit and allow MS to patch XP.

You mention waiting 2 weeks after Patch Tuesday, do you think that MS
would have corrected its' erronious patch by then?

Yesterday I tried to use Sonic DigitalMedia v7 on my HP box to archive
everything in the C:\ drive.

Several tries were made and usually the first of two DVDs burned ok, but
when it tried to burn the rest on the 2nd DVD (+RW by the way) it would
quit with an error message about 1/4th the way through the 2nd disk
telling me that the disk was dirty.

After 3 tries last night I gave up and went to bed.

I'm going to Erase the +RW disks that I tried using last night and try
again today to do it.

I saved the archive image to disk so I can work again from the same
information instead of letting it waste time again reading the drive.

BTW, last night, after it read the C:\ drive I got a window open up
Recording Error, saying that some filenames had illeagle characters; or
were over 106 characters long; or they were in use.

I noticed that in the Sonic program options there were 3 methods of
burning disks.

Two of them had 106 character limits, and the 3rd had IIRC 206 character
limits for filenames.

I might try that 3rd option sometimes later, but not now though.
I'm still learning at this CD/DVD backing up stuff.

I realize since the archive I'm making doesn't include the files in the
Recording Error window I really don't have a real backup like I have had
when backing up my 486 DOS machine.
But this software came with the machine so I thought I'd try to use it
instead of buying TI or IFW.
