I have tried Nero InCD and it always mess up my
drivers and computer and some of my disk I cant open
up..is there any other programs that I can use as a
drag and drop,like floppy disk? because I add and
delete files from my cdrw,s and its alot of work to
keep burning all the time,any ideas? would a external
hard drive be better for long term storage?

drag and drop programs, even from a good company like Nero, are notorious for drastically slowing computer performance as well as causing problems. Do yourself a huge favor and get a hard drive. External ones are pretty cheap these days.

are External hard drives better on long term storage
then cdr or cdrw? like 10 or 20 years? all I want is
something to store all my programs,music,recipes,ect
and have easy access to delete or add files as needed.
its a hassile to burn files every day.are External
hard drive easy to install,and are they reliable?

Well your best bet is to grab one of these and never worry again and while your at it, since i recommended it. You should buy me one as well

That was just a quick search, have a more thorough look and you should be able to save $100 or more. $200 or more if you buy me one ;-)

I agree with djscoop, most packet writing cd/dvd-rw software is a pain in the neck, but if you have to...

Try Jet Storage, it seems to work better than most.

I also have Problems with Nero INCD but slightly diferent. If I use drag and drop from one computer it can not be read on second computer. Nero was Instaled on both and both will record & read files but only if they were drag & droped from the same computer. Could this be in the settings of the Nero 6. Instalation instruction were not very clear. Use for data files only. Thanks Vic.

I,ve used the Maxtor One-Touch for about a year now & I love it. When it's set up properly all you do is push the button & BAM all your new files are copied over to your external HD.

I setup a one touch HD on my neighbors computer. That dants retrospect software it comes with is crap! OMG its the worst backup software I ever saw! Half the time it didn't backup properly at all! I deleted that and installed what I use, Acronis True Image.

Mine seems to work fine. But like I;ve said before, I'm not real savvy with a computer. So maybe it just appears to be okay. I googled for thatAcronis True Image & found a free version(6.0) on Major Geeks. Then there's the pay version(8.0)at the Acronis website. Would it be safe to say that the free version would be sufficient. Plus, would I still have the One Touch capabilities.

I just went back to Major Geeks & saw that it was the version 8.0. Must of had a brain fart there sorry. $50.00, is it really worth it?

True Image 8 enjoys some clear advantages over Ghost 9. It works with any version of Windows (Ghost 9 works only with XP and 2000), it doesn't depend on Microsoft's .Net framework the way its competitor does, and its full version is $20 less expensive

This from a review fro PC Magazine. That's for you Faithzzzz

Just so you know. You should of started a new thread for this. You need to use burning software that will allow you to burn all your files as Data files. This allows you to burn a lot of mp3's on to one disk.
