Just don't compress the unextractor if you plan on rebuilding your machine from scratch.

Ditto.

I've also made the mistake of putting everything in ONE archive.

Said archive then got corrupted.

CD-RW disks can vary, just like other media. I'll wager that most CD-RWs are blasted out with little regard to quality. Also, the burner matters: Plextor > everyone else. The safest bet is an external HD...

IMHO For the time involved, and with drives at dollar a gig, just use a second drive.

CD RW has some issues, and for what you are doing CD R would do the job just fine. Be sure to check the duty cycle on your burner before burning a bunch of disks.
