John, You're absolutely right. I should have been using K3B. Had I known about it when I started this thing. I was unaware that I had a CD burning program with Mandrake until I stumbled across it yesterday.......after I had downloaded the files to my Windows side of the computer. And at first I thought.... no worries, I'll just access those files like I always have in the past. That's when I discovered that after installing that second 80GB hard drive, I no longer can access the windows partitions on the hard drive from Linux. I have no idea how that happened because I could always do so in the past.
I guess my best shot at this is to just download the files again (whew!) but save them to Linux and then use K3B. Then I'll have to sort out the other problem later.
Just wondering however......... would I be able to download only the ISOs that have the additional programs, ( ISO 4,5,6,and 7) and continue to use my Mandrake 10; or is there a significant difference between Mandrake 10 and Mandriva 2006 ?
Thanks for the help,
