My Compaq Presario 1.2 GHz, 256 K RAM, CD-R/W drive comes with 40 GB of disk space including the Drive D non write over partition. I purchased a Maxtor 3200 external USB drive with 200 GB of space at at $50 reduction in price. Is there any way of using a zip program to transfer large files on the Maxtor to CD R or RW like one can do with floppy, that is, have continuous upload to CD from the Maxtor and free large chunks of space there and when desired download from CD back to the Maxtor for viewing. I do not think so, just asking. Gerald __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
