Get ahold of a package like Nero or Roxio. The native Windows support for CD/DVD burning is very limited. If you don't do that, you

could try compressing your files, but that could be a hassle for you.

If your drive will burn DVDs, you could put the data on a DVD; they
hold about 7 times as much data as a DVD. The price of Nero and Roxio are well worth it. You can buy a version that's one less than the current

one (e.g. Roxio 9 while Roxio 10 is out) on Amazon.com for around $20,

well worth the cost. I just bought Roxio 9 that way for $15 plus $3.75

shipping, and it works well with both XP and Vista.


Thanks for your replys! I have already tried using the DVD. It seems
like it is a problem with the hard ware. What do the Roxio or Nero
actually do? I have download and used the Uniblue Registry Booster. The problems seemed to start when I download the IE7. I did go to the
site and download the fixes, but it didn't seem to make a difference in
how the PC was working. And, now I habe the copying problem.




What Nero and Roxio do is make what you're having difficulty with easy. Spanning multiple CDs is automatic and easy with these packages, and from what I read in your original note, that's what you need. These packages also handle everything you can imagine doing with CD and DVD drives. In short either of these packages is going to solve the problems you're having, assuming you have at least a CD-RW drive.
