I have a laptop that is a couple years old and it's been a dog lately. I want to just reform the things and start fresh.
I put all the stuff I want to back up into my documents so I can run the background program before reformatting.
I have a lot of pictures stored on the computer but I want to burn them to DVD just in case. I don't want to lose them.
Problem is my dvd drive is acting all wonky. It started at one point to copy them and about halfway through it gave me a fail message and said to restart the computer so the drive will work again (something like that).
Even after I restarted it still won't work. Keeps giving me a fail message. Any thoughts why it would keep doing this? It's very frustrating and I really want to get my pictures off of here before I reformat.
