builds a special spot on your hard drive that stores
data in way that is friendly to transfer to another
cd. I would be very concerned about using my hard
drive without such a device because Win98 can get
really phreaky about shared files and delete
permissions etc.. There seem to be a couple of real
bears hiding in the woods in Win98 and I know of no
faster way of finding them than just copying any old
thing onto your hard drive.
