    CD/DVD Creator and 8-1 GB Media in 8.04

    Before yesterday I could put a blank cd-r disc into my computer and a prompt would come up asking me what I wanted to do and I would put pictures on the disc to take and have prints made.

    I did not know how to properly use the new CD/DVD Creator so I ended up putting the pictures onto a flash drive and restarting my computer so I could use suse 10 to transfer the pictures to a disc.

    I went back to ubuntu 8.04 and I wondered what the 8.1 GB Media was so I clicked it and discovered what looks like my root files in there. This seems odd to me; so I am wondering if this is a normal
    event, or if something is wrong or compromised within my computer. Thanks!!

    The file managers in the Ubuntu distros will show any partitions in your computer down the left hand side of the file manager and under the places menu.

    My first guess would be that the 8.1gb media is your suse 10 / partition - so don't go changing it

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
