Thanks Mike, I will make a note of that. I was taping many CDs on my laptop
when it suddenly broke down; one of the notes on the blue system page that
kept popping up suggesting things to do to reboot kept saying I needed to
erase the last things I had taped for their was too much volume; did not know
what it meant, unless it meant I saved many CDs thinking they were being
saved on C on My Playlists, and since I have over 51 gigas of space on this
laptop, I thought I didn't have to burn them to any CD right away, just leave
them on my library; that's the last thing I was doing; saving things with my
DVD ...I don't know, will tackle this tomorrow maybe or Gateway already said
tonight they were mailing me a box to have it sent away for repairs. Thanks
anyhow Mike and good night!
