Question about tranferring a file to CD

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I'm using the built in burn program in XP as my means of transferring files
and folders to CD's for simple back up.Everything works fine and no issues,
but a question please?
Sometimes when I go to transfer a folder or a file, I get an intercept
window telling me that certain things on the file or folder will be lost if
I transfer it to the CD, but it plainly states that it won't affect the file
or folder in any way.
Can someone tell me if these files and folders are ok, and the why's and
what's about this procedure? I'd appreciate knowing more about it.
My main concern is whether or not these transferred data are REALLY ok????
Thanks much,
Dudley
