I wasn't asking if can YOU upgrade from a CD, but if upgrading from CD was possible.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">TJ Heaney</b> <<a href="mailto:tjheaney@gmail.com"> tjheaney@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>I tried doing that,</div> <div> </div> <div>however, I discovered that I had a bad burn of it.
