When I started burning CD's with Nero, I also discovered that there
would be errors copying many files.

I changed my method by backing up the files to one file using
Windows backup (putting the backup file on my second disk drive).
Then I burn just the backup file. Never have errors now (maybe once in
a blue moon). Delete the backup file after copying to the CD.

The files can be recovered later directly from the CD using the
backup program.

IMPORTANT! When copying to the CD, always use "verify".

I use Win98.
