trouble when copying from harddrive to CDRW

[Ann]

I'm writing for help again because the answers I received
didn't make sense. I have always copied from a folder in
my harddrive that holds my .jpg photos and html webpages
in them that I copy to my CDRW disk as a backup. I have
been doing this daily. Two days ago for the first time
when I was copying to my CDRW, this came up:

confirm streamloss
The file thumbs has extra information attached to it that
might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of
the file will not be affected. Information that might be
lost includes :encryptable:$DATA

This never came up before when I was copying, so why
suddenly does it come up when I copy to my CDRW? I have
nothing in these folders that show anything with a thumbs
file. All I have are photos I scanned and saved as .jps
in Photoshop and other programs and also my html pages
created in Frontpage. Why suddenly does this occur. How
can I get it to not do this anymore?

Thanks,
Ann

The "$ whatever $" is a super hidden file. When you drag
and drop the files you're not getting it. It was probably
created when you viewed them in XP. It has the data from
them when viewed as thumbs in a folder view. I get it all
the time, no big deal. it will be recreated somewhere if
you click on a folder on the CD , but not stored on it.

Thanks for answering me.
What's strange is that it only started to happen in the
last 2 days and never before when I copied. Isn't there a
way to see this and then just delete it?

Thanks,

Nothing you will get will make more sense than the answers you had
before. And Thumbs.db is a hidden system file, that caches the
thumbnails for a thumbnail view of a folder. have Folder Options - View
set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones and you
will see it

Thanks for answering me.
When I select the folder options to show all hidden
files, it still doesn't show the thumbs file. How did
this show up when I don't have anything in thumbnail view?
Also, why is this the first time it showed up and never
while I copied before?

Thanks,
