Though CD burning appears simple, a few things to take care of (assuming
you already have CD writing software):
- Do it while working offline
- Turn off Anti-virus (interferes with writing, possibly the cause in
your case)
- Since a memory-intensive process, close all other programs
- Running Disk defrag prior to burning also helps in faster writing
- Set to Verify Data after writing
- Provide a disk label than a too generic "My Disc" to identify contents

You can also consider uploading (individual files or zipped) to, for
example, Skydrive if you have a Live a/c as a standby (with 25GB space
allotted). Some ISPs provide a similar limited storage (Briefcase) for
the mail account.

He posted with OE6 and I don't think OE6 will install on a Win95 machine.

You get a program like Nero (as an example)and once installed into your
Windows 95 machine you then pick up a CD from the pack or the table and
you insert it into your CD\RW drive and let her rip

It would really be helpful if you can clearly explain what you would
like to do and which files you are talking about.
