Hi, folks. A thousand advance apologies if you've dealt with this and I just haven't found the answers here.

Just got my first burner, bundled with Nero's basic software. (PC, Win98SE) All I'm doing now is burning audio CDs and compilations; I'm reading AND writing with the burner drive, my old CD drive won't work for this. I've had some success, but have also burned a few CDs that will play only in my computer and in my car, not my home stereo. I'm burning at 4x to be careful. Most of these posts are over my head; can anyone recommend decent links (or even books) for absolute know-nothing newbies? I tried reading the Nero manual, but it's not exactly written in "Burning For Dummies" style, which is pretty much what I need.

I also wonder where the files I've made are GOING on my hard drive. I think image files in Nero have an .nrg extension, but searching for *.nrg turns up none. I didn't specifically ask to create image files, so I wonder if the data is going in a temp buffer or something. I don't want thousands of megs of music crowding my HD; it ain't that big. Thanks for any patience you can show a total newbie who really wants to master this burning business. I've already learned from searching here to watch the brand of CD-Rs I buy and not grab the first stack of Memorex disks I see, so thanks already for that!

Thanks, Rotary. I don't seem to have a C:/Image file in here. I did a "Save As" on a compilation and it shows up in My Documents > My Music. I'll look for the tickbox you mentioned; that's probably what happened.
