Two questions, Techies...
If there is a sticker in the middle of the CD, is that to prevent it from recording?

Second, To copy a VCD it will load into my hard drive then copy unto my CD.

What I did was to create a folder then I have the machine download the movie in their first instead of the temporary files, so I would have a back up of the movie.

Well I think I blew up the system cuz down it gave me a error message. I either have to download the Copy program (which I lost!) again or try it again.

Well trying doesn't work it says the E drive is "not loaded" (or something like that)... anyway what should I do?

I don't see any way a sticker could be used to prevent a CD from being recorded, it would have to be placed on the underside of the CD where it is written, and therefore it couldn't be read either...

Not enought info about the system crash, but if it will boot into DOS using the [F8] key, choose Command Prompt Only and type
scanreg_/restore and it should replace the Windows Registry with a previous backup copy, and undo and changes made since that copy was made.
Note: When typing the command use a space in place of the underscore ( _ ) used here.

If the machine won't boot that far, let us know and give us a more detailed description of the situation.
