>>>>I burned a CD months ago on another box. When I put it in my laptop drive, it doesn't show that any files are there, but the CD picture (properties) shows that it is completely filled. Hard to tell by physically looking at it if anything was actually written to it, but I'm pretty sure there was. Thanks!
