you really dont have to burn anything just drag files to the cd drive folder and copy them there and it will be done, i neve use a program to make data or pic cd's

to answer you yes take the flash drive in and they can plug it in to their machine and read it

I did the copy thing. I put in the memorex 4x thing into the Lightscribe thing. I copied it. All I get now is a balloon at the bottom right of my screen telling me that I have files in Drive E waiting to be copied.

Now how can I have files in Drive E waiting to be copied when Drive E is a CD ROM DRIVE.

UPDATE.

I just put the Memorex 4x cd into my E Drive. I went to My computer and double clicked on it. It said I had AN AUDIO CD in the drive.
Is this why I can' copy pics? Because this is an audio cd??

That's all I really want to know.

I am going to buy the flash drive thing

if it says you have an audio cd in the drive - it means that particular cd is formatted already and can't be written to.

Getting a rewritable thumb/portable USB drive will be easier for you. Just plug it in and drag files to it. When you are done with a project, just drag the "old" files (that are on the usb drive) to the trash. Then you can reuse it for new projects

good luck! jean

audio cd's are for music or recording your voice.

mel, many places you can email the pictures then have them printed out. check out cvs online. when they are done, you pick them up at the store.

Curious -

it was my understanding that all cds are the same - but manufacturers label some "audio cds" to charge more $$ for them...

If your cd writer gives you a message that an audio cd is in the drive, I am pretty sure it means the cd is formatted and has music on it and can't be written to.

please correct me if i'm wrong....

Jean

they are formated different. i found that out when i was trying to copy a news story from tv for gaykir. i tried both the audio and the data cd's ( both were new) and had to finally get a dvd-r.

then i tried to use the dvd-r's ( new, i bought a whole stack ) to record lil'monkey's audition music and that wouldn't work.

i'm sure someone...moi? while chime in.

please correct me if i'm wrong....

Jean. I have no idea if you are wrong or right.

I just went to yahoo and looked up Flash Drive.

Holy cow, I'm getting an education. I said that CD RW are obsolete. It said that there are different kinds of flash drives.

It said that there is something called a solid state flash drive.

All I want is to copy some pics to SOMETHING, go to the Kodak store and print it out. But when I did go to the Kodak store the other day and I asked them "How much is it per photo to have it printed out?" he said "$1.95 per picture".

I might as well buy some more cartridges for my printer and do it myself.

My god, the stuff I have yet to learn about flash drives, and cd rw's and this and that.

I'll be 80 and STILL LEARNING

lol

Curious.

I LOVE YOU!!!

I just went to this link (cvs) and it says if you sign up for free, you can get 50 prints for free.

Let's just check this out!!!

If this is true, I shall send heaps of blessings your way.

Curious:

I registered with the CVS photo thing. I uploaded 9 photos. I created an album. Now I see things like "Shopping Cart, etc. etc.

What do I do next?

You indicated I can email the pics.

I think this might be done a different way. Since I have uploaded it to that site, and I've created an album. There must be a way to put the album in the shopping cart, and then click on SOMETHING, and then I can take a walk to my local CVS and pick up the photos?

See, this is where I get confused.

How do I make sure that my local CVS gets the information.

I know I now live in techno times but honestly, I was using a throw-a-way camera until last week, and now I've uploaded photos to a cvs thing?

I can do the photobucket and the youtube thing, but this is BRAND NEW TO ME.

Any steps I should take next? Have you done this.?

I tried to see a help menu or an information thing but all I saw was "create an album, My album, shopping cart.....

And thanks much.

God, I'm learning cvs photos now.

lol

you did the right thing. now you can pick which or all the photos you want to be printed. they will be ready at the cvs store you choose. saves a trip to the store. plus all the copying time to a cd or or thumb drive.

i hadn't done it in awhile. i used to email the pictures to the local cvs.
lil'monkey is now my techno guru.
