Does your PC have a DVD burner?

Are you familiar with USB thumb drives? They look similar to a BIC cigarette lighter. Ten bucks for a small one is all you'd need.

You can back up your pictures to either DVD or USB thumb drive.

You can reinstall using either DVD or USB thumb drive. DVD is probably a bit simpler. You can buy a pack of 5 at Walmart for a few bucks.

Ever burned a DVD disc??
