	Larry, I tried making my first DVD yesterday to back up the
thousands of photos and scans in my second hard drive. I was unable to
get the Burner to work right away as I did not understand the business
of "saving" the files I wanted to copy to a file somewhere in my computer.
I finally remembered an earlier post of yours that mentioned this and
once I saved it to a folder on my desktop, it went as it was supposed to.

	My question is, I have plenty of spare space on my second hard
drive. There is no partition on it at all that I know of. Can I just
save it to a folder on this second drive and then delete it after the
Burning is complete?  Or does it have to be on the drive with the Burn
program - in this case, Nero?
