HOW DO YOU UTILIZE FILE WITHOUT CD!

I BACKED UP MY FILES IN WINDOWS 98SE ON A CD DISK.
I DECIDED TO DO A FULL RECOVERY ON MY COMPUTER BECAUSE OF VIRUS ISSUES
WHERE THEIR THROUGHOUT MY INTERNET AND OFF INTERNET FILES WITHIN MY
COMPUTER. AFTER MANY TIMES OF TRYING DIFFERENT VIRUS PROGRAMS THAT I
FREE DOWNLOADED; TRYING DIFFERENT ONES; NOTHING WORKED! THE VIRUS
CONTINUED IN MY SYSTEMS!

AFTER THE TOTAL RECOVERY DISK
ALL OF THE FILES THAT I REINSTALLED FROM THE BACKUP DISK WERE FINE;
SUCH AS MY MS WORD FILES AND MY MAIN DESKTOP FILES THAT I LIKE ON MY
DESKTOP.

BUT MY PICTURE FILES FOR SOME REASON I AM NOT ABLE TO BRING THEM UP
UNLESS I HAVE THE DISK IN THE CD ROM DRAWER WHEN I DIDN'T BEFORE.
WHEN I WOULD TRANSFER THEM INTO A FOLDER FROM MY CAMERA!

WHEN I DOUBLE CLK ON THE FOLDER THAT THE PICTURES OR IMAGES ARE IN
THAT I TRANSFERRED OFF OF THE BACKUP DISK, A MESSAGE TELL ME TO PUT
THE DISK IN OR UTILIZE THE NETWORK RESOURCE.

QUES. HOW DO I PUT THE IMAGES BACK WHERE I WON'T HAVE TO USE THE CD
ROME BACKUP DISK IN ORDER TO BRING UP THE IMAGES? I HAVE PLENTY OF
HD STORAGE SPACE! EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT THE PICTURES!

THANKS ALOT!

Please lose the caps lock for future inquiries. It's hard to read and
considered the equivalent to shouting.

Do the picture icons have a little arrow in the bottom corner? It sounds
like you put shortcuts to your images on your hard drive instead of
copying the image files themselves. Try highlighting the images and
using the right mouse button to drag the icons to the destination
folder. You should see a context menu that allows you the choice of
copying or moving the files (use the copy option).
