Hi Denise,

Are you on the same machine that you did the backup on? If not, do any
files not on the dvds display Korean names ok? I'm wondering if you are
now on a
machine that doesn't recognize Korean names in general, in which case
just
some configuration change to match the original machine might help.

Did you use a backup program to burn the dvds, or a regular dvd-burner
program?

Bill
