One would hope not! The advice I recieved didn't include what was needed to make that software work or what my computer lacked, depending on how you look at it.

Fortunately, I managed to grab the person who originally recommended the burning software and he directed me to the right one of the latter list, which was appropriate.

Thank you for all of those links, everyone. The original title is now up and running but I have other problems to deal with now as well, which I'll try to address in another thread.

Installing Linux has certainly opened up a can of worms.
