Backing up N4demo on a cd error????????????????

Hi, I am currently in the process of upgrading my PC and tried to burn N4demo onto a CD but after 37% it gives a read.write error. I tried several times all with the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem or know a cure? any help greatfully appreciated.

So you (presumably)ruined *several* CD's just to backup a DEMO that you could download again?? Sorry, I don't see the logic in that...

Eldred, blank CD's cost me ten cents each. Downloading the 80 meg N4 demo takes many hours on my 56k dialup connection (no dsl or cable available where I live). Copying it to a CD makes sense to me.

Gave me no problems. I keep a CDR open to back up all the demos, and enhancements I download. Using direct CD I just move the stuff accross to that from my HD. Never had any problems with this system.

I have a high-speed connection at work, do I do my downloading there... But ten cents - from where? I need to find those...<g> > >Rick > >PS - Norm Cash was playing the last time I went to Tiger Stadium.

Sounds like you have a corrupted sector or something on your Hard Drive. Try doing a scandisk, then try backing it up again "Steve" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:94fn38$iim$[email hidden]...
