Ernie

Just a quick update. Apparently the burner did not like the type of DVD I was
trying to use. I placed a CD-R in the drive and was able to do the backup.
Thanks for the help. I guess I'll have to check the manufactuer's web site to
get more info on what types of media will work in this drive. Again, thanks
for the help.
