We don't know how the CD caused the crash. It was being read, the blue screen
appeared and that was it. I know the CD was bad because it caused grief on this
computer as well. I assume since this is a much newer computer it could cope.
The CD was never read and now the disk resides in the trash. New hard drives are
cheap...

I just use an external drive for backups. I could (but haven't) automate the
backup process to be more frequent than my manual system. Every so often I'll
backup certain stuff to CD as well.

I've been really good about backing up all my files. We found an old picture
CD that crashed the hard drive. We tried everything to get it back, we are
doing the last resort, re-format. I'll keep in mind the Raid array. I have a
brand new laptop coming, be a good time to try it. I will search for the
instructions...Thanks for the tip.
