I think that's what I mean. I'm not real savvy when it comes to technical
issues. I just checked my other computer, and what's on that one is HP CD
Writer 9100 with adaptec Direct CD Reader. So, if I buy the latest and
greatest version of Easy CD Creator, it will read files saved to disk in the
HP drive? Is that correct? Again, thank you so much for your help and
patience! :-)
