Default CD BURNER

Justin asked :-

But what are the chances of that and what would happen if it did get
messed up


Noel replied :-

chances of catastrophic failure in an old ME system? - 100% over time!
hardware WILL die eventually.
what would happen when (not if!) it happens? - possibly you'll get lucky
and be able to transfer your HD to a new motherboard and pull the data
off, but it's also possible that the HD will be the failure point, and
you'll lose everything permanently unless you backed it up.


Seems a fair conclusion to me - nothing really to add.
