Question: When backing up to cd is there any way to maintain write-permission upon retransfer to hard disk? I use Nero for back-up. This is getting off-topic I know...

I assume you use Win32. Create an archive (.zip) or use a backup utility. I use Norton/Symantec ghost, which can make an image of a disk partition onto a set of CD's, a different drive/partition, or via network on another machine's local disk. There is a utility like windows explorer to view the contents of an image fileset and copy out individual files. -- George N. White III Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada
