right, got a bit of a predicament. i fit into the computer literacy category of "i know what i need to know, to do the things i need to do to" and now im venturing out of that sphere of safety, so please go easy on me with the replies.
i took some photos for my ma when i went to prague- so far so good.
got them off the camera, onto the pc- so far so good.
ive got a cd writer drive, ive got cd's, i've got nero- looking promising....
and then it all went belly up.
turns out i dont have nero at all, just a shortcut that ask for the serial number (nope- not got one of those, second hand pc 2 yrs ago) and that its only a demo version.
so first things first- can anybody recommend some free downloadable trustworthy and idiot proof cd burning software? *idiot proof is very very important! *
second problem- the cd writer drive doesnt appear to show up on my pc as a drive. i seem to have 3 drives with stuff saved on them (i know i have a partitioned hard drive- i do not know what that means and suspect i dont need to!)....and my pc has no problem registering the external camera drive....so where is it?
will it automatically be found when i have the software installed or do i actually need to do something or is it just time to get someone who knows what theyre doing in?
all help gratefully received, so long as it doesnt turn into technojargon....ill only get lost!
cheers guys,
