I'm not too sure... I'm afraid that I can't check it right now, as my cd
writing pc has a blown PSU.

However, off the top of my head, I think it's referring to the location
where the software will save cd images too. You can set this via the
setup menu when you start the program.

Nothing vital, just a note, to blank a cdrw, you need to go the write
tracks option, to find the button.

If the files are fine, and you can read them, then the CD writing
software is working, and your data is safe. :-)
