I tried to do the right thing today by backing up all my pictures onto a CD. I opened my pictures file and click "copy all files to cd" and the "temporary files were sent to be copied. An error occured while trying to burn them and they were not copied. Instead of being constantly reminded that I had "files waiting to be copied", I deleted the temporary files and then deleted them from the recylcling bin. Now when I go into the harddrive to open the photo files, they will not open. The size of the files, and names are all there. But that is all as of now. Please help.
